Absolutely true. This is where Operation Medicine Cabinet is very
important.
Our pharmaceutical take back program (events bi annually---working on
permanent drop boxes at law enforcement facilities at present that comply with
DEA regulations that exist at present)
Here in Florida we have a simple and effective way of collecting all
medications and controlled substances in coordination with Drug Free Collier and
the Collier County Sheriff's Office.
This program is being conducted in several counties throughout Florida and
has been endorsed by the Florida Crime Prevention Association just last
month. Anyone wanting information on how to set up this simple and very
effective program, please contact
_veoralittle at aol.com_ (mailto:veoralittle at aol.com) . Thank you Veora

All the info you are receiving is fine but nothing helps with controlled
substances…that’s where the real problem is.

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.
