Subject: [Pharmwaste] Looking for Reverse Distributors to Serve Law Enforcement

Good Morning,

I would like to know if anyone has had success finding reverse distributors ready to collect prescribed controlled substances and other medications from law enforcement agencies either by pick-up or delivery by common or contract carrier.

The only one that I know is operating now is Sharps Compliance, Inc with their MedSafe system. However, that system requires the use of their collection receptacles. Here in Colorado we have many law enforcement agencies with boxes manufactured by others, so boxes are already in place. I've talked to a couple reverse distributors that say they are developing this service, but are not yet operating.

Does any know of reverse distributors that are ready, today, to assist law enforcement with disposal?

Thanks.
