Job well done. Not to steal your thunder but.....in Monroe County
(Rochester,NY) we have been operating Pharm Waste Collections since 2008.
Our largest collection to date was held at a Wegmans Food Market on August
15, 2009. We serviced 535 residents and collected 1,678 lbs of pharm
wastes. Collected material was disposed of via incineration.
We also have worked with local and county law enforcement agencies to have
a more sustainable collection program by offering residents drop off
opportunities a least 5 times/locations per month.

I wanted to share the results provided by the San Antonio Police
Department/Narcotics Division of “MedDropSA” that was held this last
Sat. (June 5th) in San Antonio Texas. MedDropSA is the name for the
City of San Antonio’s residential pharmaceutical drug disposal program.
See Flyer attached.
The San Antonio Water System has partnering with the San Antonio Police
Department and the City’s Solid Waste Management Division on a new
initiative, MedDropSA. This program is designed to collect unwanted or
unused medications, both prescription and over-the-counter. The event
was scheduled in conjunction with the City’s Household Hazardous Waste
collection day to collect old/unneeded pharmaceuticals, providing a
safe, free alternative to disposal.
