[Pharmwaste] Is a national medicine collection day being plannedfor 9/25/10?

[Matthew C. Mireles]

Also, April 16th Earth Day has been designated as a drug take-back day to emphasize environmental sustainability.  My guess is that there'll be a number of national drug collection days until a group of thoughtful people form a consensus to standardize one day or one week for national drug return/collection.  maybe this may be topic for the upcoming conference in Maine, Oct.
