[Pharmwaste] DEA results press release

[DeBiasi, Deborah (DEQ)]

            The results do not seem atypical to me.  The spring collections have always been higher than the fall collections.  In fact, when the numbers for Virginia are adjusted by 30 times to use on the same graph for comparison, we follow the same trend.  It would be no surprise if the event totals drop some going forward due to other means of drug collection being utilized, but the pattern of high to low for spring versus fall time frames will probably continue.   Has anyone else looked at the numbers for their state?

Any thoughts about the curious results for collection event #12?

Impressive 731,269 pounds total wt is down from Spring 2016 high of 893,498.  Third best total of all their events.

"Almost 5,200 collection sites" is down slightly from recent events.  Spring 2014 was the high with 6,072.  Only their first event had fewer sites than this one.
