Subject: [Pharmwaste] Unwanted Medicine - Police Station Drop Boxes

 
NH is considering clarifying state law to allow for police stations to
have drop boxes for unwanted/expired medicine.  Although some of these
exist in NH already, NH state law inadvertently does not permit these at
this time.
 
I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:
 
1)       What state do you work in or represent?
2)       Are police station drop boxes allowed or prohibited in your
state?
3)       Is there specific guidance or legal requirements associated
with the drop boxes beyond obtaining DEA waivers and complying with haz
waste rules/exemptions?
4)       Have there been any problems with police station drop boxes in
your state?
 
Thank you
