[Pharmwaste] Electronic pill bottle recycling question

[Dan Gusz]

Hello all,

As an introduction, I work for AdhereTech <http://adheretech.com/>, a
company that makes smart, electronic pill bottles that are used to increase
medication adherence.  We are in the process of designing a recycling
program for our bottles (because they have expensive electronics inside)
and are looking for expertise around how we could safely dispose of the
medications inside of the bottles.

In short, an exemplary program may involve sending patients a pre-paid
return envelope.  A location (*this is where I am looking for guidance*)
could receive the envelope and easily remove the electronics inside (from
bottom of bottle so don't need to open the bottle).  The bottle then could
be incinerated under normal protocols, and the electronics recycled.

I would really appreciate any advice that folks have - I'm more than happy
to send additional information or get on the phone to discuss.


*The bottles look like this*:

Take care,
