[Pharmwaste] DEA Collection Correction

[Ed Gottlieb]

Hi All,
 
On 1/21 (Vol 75, Issue 13) I reported that a DEA officer told me law enforcement agencies wouldn't be able to sign-up for the April 28th collection event until 6 or 7 weeks before the event.  That was not correct.  They can sign-up now.
 
My DEA regional office has not yet gotten back to me to about three questions I asked them.
1. Can we extending the hours of collection beyond the standard 10-2?
2. Can DEA arrange a pick-up a bit later in the afternoon so that we can complete an inventory of all controlled substances, and possibly a random selection of other medications?
3. Can other collection sites in our county deliver what was turned in to a central site for inventorying?
 
I'll let you know what they say when I hear.
