What is the best way to get rid of excess chemical?

1. Dilute excess and reapply to area, but do not exceed label rates for area
2. Dispose of it in a landfill
3. Dump it down the drain
4. Burn it

The correct answer is: 1. Dilute excess and reapply to area, but do not exceed label rates for area

One of the main reasons why the other options are incorrect is because they can be harmful to the environment. Disposing of chemicals in a landfill or dumping them down the drain can contaminate soil and water, leading to negative impacts on ecosystems and human health. Burning excess chemicals can also release harmful pollutants into the air. Dilution and careful reapplication of the excess chemical, while following label rates for the area, is the safest and most environmentally responsible option. It allows the chemical to be used effectively while minimizing potential harm to the environment.
