In Iowa, there is a repository program that accepts medications of this
nature. The information for the repository (which is administered by
the Iowa Prescription Drug Corporation) is www.iowapdc.org
<http://www.iowapdc.org/>
I'm not sure if they'd be able to accept from an out of state provider,
but you may be interested in their program.

Subject: [Pharmwaste] Donation of unused medications
Does anyone have a good resource for information on the donation of
unused medicines or information that basically prohibits this? I have a
pharmacist who supplies meds to long term care facilities in blister
packs and is interested in donating unused portions. Also, having
recently conducted a take-back program, we collected numerous items from
the public that were still factory-sealed. Thank you.
