[Pharmwaste] RE: Retiring Sheriff most proud of drug take-back program

[Gilliam, Allen]

Thanks Ed,

Highest per capita permanent drop boxes in the nation 'tis the great State of Arkansas.  See http://www.artakeback.org/ "collection sites" to see over 100 of them saturating the State.  Some forward thinking Cities are now placing in their Pretreatment Ordinances a prohibition against the disposal of any pharmaceuticals into their sewage collection system (hardly enforceable, but at least it's "on the books").

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Of all the good work Sheriff DuVall did over more than thirty years in office (Russellville, AR.), he is most proud of the drug take-back program that he helped begin in cooperation with the town mayor, City Corp., the Lions Club and the American Legion.

"I got very excited about it because as an investigator, I saw a lot of young people get their hands on prescription drugs," DuVall said.
