I got a question today from one of our waste water treatment people. She has
tasked the hospitals in her district with developing BMPs for waste water.
They have asked her how they should manage controlled substances that would
have previously been flushed since she had told them that is no longer
acceptable.
How have other hospitals handled this issue?
Sorry for cross posting - I know some of you are on both list serves.
Thanks,
Laurie
