Just to clarify. In Washington State, a workgroup is still evaluating many
issues about incineration and what the best option is going to be for us...
The solid waste Waste to Energy (WTE) plant is currently our preferred
option, but hasn't been approved yet. There is a long story about why we
are considering this. Household waste is technically solid waste
regardless of the degree of toxicity per RCRA exemptions, and if time and
temperature requirements for pharmaceutical destruction are met in a MSW
incinerator (we anticipate that the volumes will be small and security
precautions are possible) the same end result may be achieved if we use a
WTE.
I have done some research about incineration, temperature requirements, and
emissions from pharmaceuticals, but haven't come up with much information on
end of life disposal besides the sewer data that we are all familiar with.
Manufacturers may have this data. Perhaps this goes on Dr. Daughton's
excellent list of research questions.

Folks,
Following is an email from Charlotte Smith of PharmEcology. Please help
Charlotte find the information she's looking for which will be needed as
more pilot projects are tried around the country. I think it would be
helpful to respond to the whole list so we can get each an idea of what's
happening in other states. Be sure to include an address block with your
response.

Subject: Parameters to be developed re HHW drug waste
Hi Laurie,
It would be useful to know how each state regards hazardous pharmaceutical
waste generated by households and then collected at a central location. In
Maine, the hazardous waste loses its exempt status and is again regulated as
RCRA hazardous waste. In Washington State, it retains its household status
to a degree but must be incinerated at their approved Spokane incinerator. I
suppose in the worst of all worlds, it could actually be landfilled legally,
although we'd hate to see that happen. But it would be important for people
trying to pilot HHW or other Rx take back programs to have that information
available.
Secondly, it would be helpful to identify those MSW or RMW incinerators
which are capable of handling a consumer drug take back waste stream, which
is much more varied and diluted than Rx waste from a manufacturer.
Given those two pieces of data, some decision points would already be
covered in terms of cost effectiveness and environmental protection. In the
best of all worlds, a cost analysis tool could eventually be constructed
that would take into account all of these and other variables.
Best regards,
