[Pharmwaste] This list would seem then to give 2 disposal options for fentanyl, see disposal on product package

[Russell Mankes]

Steve,

I may have missed the link. Where are the disposal options? For fentanyl, do
other states require special disposal procedures? In New York State,
fentanyl  and fentanyl patches are specifically regulated by the NY BNE. The
patches must be disposed of in sharps containers, despite most sharps
containers are landfilled.
