In most cases when law enforcement takes custody of the controlled substances, the costs of escorting and destruction should be incurred onto the law enforcement.  This is probably something the DEA would have to work out.

>This is what we're doing in MN because we have no commercial HW incinerators in MN and we have state-of-the-art WTE's here.  Escorting the CS portion to the closest HW incinerator in Sauget, IL was expensive since it had to be escorted by law enforcement.
