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

[Jim Clark]

Does it make sense that we reinstate the DEA drug take back program and given the recent supreme court decision, that we have the pharmaceuticals pay for the DEA drug Take Back Program? What am I missing?

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?
