[Pharmwaste] Alternate Incineration sites

Thu Aug 31 12:58:14 EDT 2006

I suspect they would need to listed and permitted as TSDF - and they'd
resist that.

Public perception - stuffing "Aunt Ida" in with 30ld of old medicine -
you'd have tat and the media to beat - some fights are just not worth it.

Personally - I'm all in favour if it works - sure save a lot of energy

In a little bit of fear around starting some fire for which I don’t know
all the ramifications…What are the reasons for excluding crematoria as
incineration sites for unused pharmaceuticals given the temperatures they
work at and the scrubbers to specifically remove mercury? Stevan Gressitt,
