Hi all - Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and our local =
Ground Water Guardians Assoc.  We are in the process of developing a =
project involving pharmaceutical waste.  Of course we'd like to =
accomplish more than we can at this point, but we are looking at =
developing an educational program to raise consumer awareness about =
pharmaceutical waste residuals in water sources and trying to develop a =
take back program at our local clinic and Walgreen's pharmacy.  To date =
we have contacted both state and EPA officials.  We are now trying to =
determine the best course of action with our limited resources.  Issues =
with take back program involve HIPPA and classification of hazardous =
waste if program is run through our clinic.  I am thankful for this =
listserve and look forward to watching this important issue gain =
attention.  Thanks all for your time - Jordon
