[Pharmwaste] Senators encourage reinstatement of DEA Take-Back Events

With the Supreme Court not hearing the Alameda County, CA case, the DEA doesn't need to do take backs anymore.  The door just flew open for every municipality in the country, including over 300 counties and thousands of cities, towns and rural communities to have fully funded pharmaceutical disposal programs paid for by private industry.

The repercussions of this are going to be huge.

Very good point Jeff,

The domino effect will begin I'm afraid.  Coming from 25+ yrs in Pretreatment and watching the Feds (EPA) continual disinvestment in the National Pretreatment Program over the last 15+ yrs, it's already hit hard here at the state level and now being felt at the City level: "If the Feds see no importance in the program, why should we?" seems to be the wounded wolf's final cry.

A lot of people don't want "big government" (like myself to an extent), but without its presence in some worthwhile nat'l programs, those programs are doomed to wither on the vine.

Wouldn't more consumer drugs be disposed if they  reinstated the program?  Isn't that a good thing?
