| Abstract | The construction of a disposal pit is a practical method for managing small quantities of empty agri-input packages on farms, providing a safe and environmentally responsible solution. Essential steps for constructing and operating a disposal pit, emphasizing site selection, construction, and proper disposal techniques are explained. Key considerations include locating the pit at least 250 meters from drinking water sources, ensuring it is away from open water, and using appropriate materials such as clay and lime to prevent contamination. The disposal pit should be carefully maintained and monitored to ensure the safety of both humans and the environment. This process also includes safety measures, such as fencing, warning signs, and personal protective equipment, alongside a record-keeping system for disposal activities. | |
