Since the 1970s, the environmental consequences of the intensive use of agrochemicals have aroused the interests and concerns of technicians, scientists, and government agencies because possible contaminations caused by these substances. However, a major problem to be considered is the correct destination of pesticide containers after the use of the products, a liability resulting from the intensification of the use of pesticides formerly treated as common waste, or even dumped in the environment. This paper discussed the results obtained in the work carried out in Arealva City in São Paulo State, approaching the importance of the GEDAVE System (Animal and Plant Protection Management System), from use to the return of empty packaging, promoting better monitoring of the use and minimizing risks of this products. It was observed that farmers know the general rules that involve the rational use of agrochemicals, however, they still have difficulties in the practical applications regarding the storage in the rural property and the logistics of returning empty containers. So it was observed the necessity of the itinerant gathering with frequency, like tool that will solve the logistic difficulties reported.
