[Pharmwaste] DEA Drug collection total for Virginia

[Matthew C. Mireles]

We collected a ton and a half in Harris County, covering Galveston and Houston area.  But we haven't any clue what we collected.  I think someone wanted to drop off a hospital bed at one of our 17 sites.  If anyone collected any data other than weight or volumne, please let us know.  We are trying to evaluate the impact and success of this national campaign.  One immediate success observed and recorded in Houston was the level of collaboration with different community groups and law enforcement.  We participated on a press conference with the Sheriff Dept, police dept, district attorney office, special DEA agents, and drug coalition.
