[Pharmwaste]North Dakota drug take-back website!

[Howard Anderson]

Dear Mr. Boggs:

 

I would suggest you link your site for North Dakota directly to our web page
at http://www.nodakpharmacy.com/disposal.asp 

 

This gets you to our program available in all of our pharmacies and has a
link to the North Dakota Attorney General's site where they keep updating
the list of police and sheriff's offices where they collect all drugs
including controlled substances. Both are ongoing programs that consumers
can use anytime.

 

Sincerely,

 

Howard

Subject: [Pharmwaste] Please help us update our drug take-back website!

 

Dear colleagues,

 

Please help us to update our drug take-back website!
www.takebacknetwork.com, sponsored by King Pharmaceuticals, includes a
listing of on-going take-back programs across the country. We have updated
the information on all the programs currently listed. If you have an ongoing
drug take-back program that is not on the list linked below, please let us
know!

 

http://takebacknetwork.com/local_efforts.html

 

Here's an example: http://takebacknetwork.com/missouri.html

 

To add your program, please send me the following information:

 

1.       Name of program

2.       Location

3.       Brief description (1 paragraph)

4.       Collection sites (if these change frequently, it's fine to say, for
example, "15 pharmacies in the Greater Boston area" or some such)

5.       Collecting controlled substances (yes/no)

6.       Organizers and partners

7.       Program Results/Evaluations (if available - this could be a link to
a report, or a paragraph)

8.       Funding 

9.       Contacts

10.   Link to program website (if available)

 

We are looking to track "on-going" programs.what do we mean by that? Any
program besides a one-day collection event.mail-back, collection sites that
are open daily, or regularly-scheduled collection events. Are you running a
collection event that takes place every 6 months? The first Saturday of the
month? We'd be glad to include them. 

 

The purpose of this page is to provide a snapshot of the level and type of
ongoing drug take-back programs happening around the country, and to provide
contacts to help people interested in doing a program to find someone in
their state or region from whom they can learn. This is NOT intended as a
website for consumers, so information about hours of operation is not
necessary (we suggest providing this information to Earth911.com). We are
also not collecting data on actual drugs collected, etc., as done by Matthew
Mireles.

 

Thank you to everyone for your hard work to make these programs happen! 

 

Sierra
