would have to check with each individual state's use/interpretation of RCRA.  AR exempts household haz  waste pharmas from collection to disposal.

Wow - That's over 10 pounds of pharmaceutical waste per vehicle!  That seems high for a single consumer household.

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.
