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.

      May I ask this List Group if any other Program of it’s kind has
      exceeded 1,336 lbs. for a one time collection of unused/unwanted
      medicines collected in the US?  Thanks.

       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.
