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

[Jeff Hollar]

Good point Barry.  Some have argued that big and little Pharma will simply
pass on their cost of this program to the rest of us in higher prices.  I
wonder if that will happen?

I certainly hope your prediction is true Barry.  On the surface, it may seem
the picture may be this rosy, but time will tell who steps up to the plate
against the big Pharma.and our national pharmacy chains/local pharmacies
joining in on the national scale.

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?
