WESTPORT, CT — In 2018, the State of Connecticut became one of the first states in the nation to restrict the use of insecticides called Neonicotinoids or “Neonics” for short. This class of chemicals has been proven to be especially harmful to the world’s pollinators.
The Westport Public Works Department encourages you to take advantage of Household Hazardous Waste Day and safely dispose of any neonicotinoid containing insecticides.
