I've made a decision to never again use any type of poison, the reason being is that I'm going to walk the talk regarding caring for the environment and to show my respect and love for all lifeforms.

I had a special cupboard where I kept Ridder, Roundup, Pirophos and a can of Doom, I collected all the little vials, bottles and cans, I double tied it tightly in two plastic bags, I've put it beside the black bag bin, as I am not sure how to properly dispose of it, I'm afraid that if I include it in the black bag, it will end up crushed and poisoning animals and poor people who frequent the garbage dumps.

Have you any ideas how I can responsibly discard these poisons ?
Any tips will be appreciated thanks.

(all I can come up with is to open the vials and ---> evaporation)
 
Those stuff are safe. I you drink it you will not die. I got all of those and keep it only when there is a real problem. Mine is about 5 years old and just stand here.

If you want to be green, empty the bottles in your drain, kitchen , it will dilute well.
Then take the glass bottles to a re use depot .

I leave my garden for the birds to control, the birds eat the insects, etc.
 
Contact the manufacturer. They should be able to tell you how to dispose of it.

Pouring it down the drain is an incredibly irresponsible way of disposing of old chemicals, especially Roundup and chlorpyrifos.
