I have heard wonderful things about the Collier County program, similar to
Hillsborough County.  I will be contacting you directly about this.

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.  Thank you Veora Little, CRNA

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.
