[Pharmwaste] Pharmaceutical Waste - Percentage of Liquids

[North, Karin]

Hello everyone-

 

A group of us are working on crafting a mail-back program in the San
Francisco Bay Area, California.  I know that Maine has legislation for
the mail-back of pharmaceuticals, but we are still working with USPS to
get approval for residents to mail back their unwanted medications to a
DEA registrant.

 

Right now USPS has an issue with mailing liquids.  During our collection
event last May 2006, we did not quantify the amount of liquids. I was
wondering if anyone could send me an estimate of the amount of liquids
that would be sent through the mail.   It would be great if you could
send me a percentage.

 

Thank you for your help.


Best,
Karin North
