Someone actually called me from Iowa - and left me a voicemail and I have not
heard anything back again. ( I don't have their number, I thought it might
have been DNR?) 

I am trying to verify with anyone in Iowa, any additional regulations before
I dispose of drug samples. 
Please try me again! 

Thanks for everyone's insight so far, I want to make sure I meet IA
regulations for disposal.

I have been trying to get one clear answer- and haven't had much success. I
have tried EPA, DNR, Iowa Board of Pharmacy, local landfill and others. I
have expired sample prescription drugs to dispose of and I don't want to
break any regulations, however I have been told I am a "waste generating
facility" and therefore have different rules. It has been recommended to me
to mix them with undesirable substances and put in regular trash and that
they are not considered hazardous.

I do not have the option of giving them to a charitable organization because
they will only take them( in the Iowa Drug Repository program) with a year
left on the expiration and our offices keep them until they expire. 

Is there any clear guideline federally or in Iowa that I have missed?
