Abstract
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.

Summary
O uso de substâncias químicas para o controle de pragas e doenças na agricultura remonta aos primórdios da civilização. Entretanto, um problema que não costumava aparecer no cenário legal (Brasil, 1989) ou dos pacotes tecnológicos era a destinação correta das embalagens vazias de agrotóxicos: um passivo resultante da intensificação do uso dos produtos fitossanitários, que antes eram tratados como lixo comum, ou mesmo, largados no ambiente. A destinação final das embalagens vazias de agrotóxicos prevista na Lei Federal 12.305, de 2 de agosto de 2010 (Brasil, 2010), determinou as responsabilidades específicas para cada elo da cadeia de produção e consumo de agrotóxicos no país, envolvendo agricultores, canais de distribuição e venda dos produtos comerciais, empresas fabricantes e o próprio poder público. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o grau de entendimento de produtores rurais do município de Arealva (SP), quanto ao conhecimento sobre as diversas normas e leis que regem o trabalho e a utilização dos agrotóxicos e afins, especialmente, a destinação correta das embalagens vazias
