[Pharmwaste] AK AG Includes Take Back in Mobile Office Program

[Gilliam, Allen]

We have some very dedicated and hard-working folks who have helped saturate the State (highest number per capita) with 24/7 take-back drop boxes at LE offices.  Now, with Walgreen's joining in the Program, I'm sure it won't take long for WalMart, Kroger and the few CVSs to jump on the band wagon.

Now, just to get big Pharma to put some research into source reduction.  'ell, we're paying thru the nose for prescription drugs anyway.

During the Attorney General Mobile Office staff members will assist constituents with consumer-related issues in filing consumer complaints and providing information about scams, identity theft, fraud and other protections from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Van Matre Senior Center, located in Cooper Park, 1101 Spring St. During that time authorities from the Mountain Home Police Department will also collect prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, pet medicines, medicated ointments and lotions, inhalers, liquid medicines in glass or leak-proof containers and medicine samples as part of a prescription drug take back event.
The Mobile Office goes to every county in the state.
