Subject: [Pharmwaste] National Pharmaceutical Take-Back Day on November 13??




I am involved with a collaborative effort to plan and conduct a single-day,  
coordinated drug take-back event at a location within each state in the Potomac  
River Basin.  We noticed an earlier posting about November 13 being a National  
Pharmaceutical Take-Back Day.  Upon researching the issue, Operation Medicine  
Cabinet in New Jersey (www.operationmedicinecabinetnj.org) is spearheading this  
and while is being touted as a "National" event (www.americanmedicinechest.org),  
it seems to be focused on New Jersey. 
 
We are aware of a locality here in PA that is interested and have heard that at  
least one place in Florida may be participating. 
 
We are curious if any other states/localities are participating in this event  
and if it is truly a national effort. 
 
Any insight/info would be appreciated. 
 
Thanks, 
Pat
