To all

I was just contacted and asked to provide some additional info for a state-funded drug collection program. I’m sharing this with the full list serve I think you will find it helpful. The average weight per pharmacy collected in 2015 was 201 lbs of Rx-Waste. Do note, that figure is for Rx-Waste
only as the packaging is kept by the consumer for proper recycling. If packaging were to be included the ttl weight would be approx. 5 times that for a ttl of 1005 lbs.
Cost for the Program is $300 per year unlimited weight collection (some state specific restrictions). Cost for the Lockable Container for Controlled Substances is a one-time deposit of $150.

Thank You for your interest in the Yellow Jug Old Drugs Program and for your support of all efforts to keep our water clean and our communities safe.

Chris Angel, President GLCW/USCW

> Hello All,
>
> I am working with a group that is pushing for more pharmacy and law-enforcement based permanent med disposal receptacles and is also seeking information on the current options for mail away envelopes. We'd like to prepare a list of the current options. There's one vendor that's offering a 6-month,
no contract trial period. And, I've received emails in the past from several vendors, but the options have changed so rapidly and prices have come down a bit, so I wanted to put out a new call for information. I feel like we're on the brink of a tide change in terms of pharmacy participation.>
> So, all of you vendors out there, if you're willing to share information that can be presented publicly, please share. Might be helpful to share with the listserv rather than just me, but if you would like to send me information directly, that's ok too.
>
> Thank you for your time and efforts in helping with this critical need.
