[Pharmwaste] Take-back location search engines

Thu Aug 31 15:07:00 EDT 2017

Ed,
At one point several years ago, Earth911 was very interested in becoming the one stop place for this type of information.  They have been successful with other take back products (batteries) in being the go to source of information.  I don't think they are currently very inclusive (Il-IN Sea Grant helped them with content for the launch of their site and links to the sites we were aware of at the time).

In terms of infrastructure and experience, they are probably the best option but they likely would need ongoing support to maintain the site, advertise, etc. to fully develop a national program.  Susan

Subject: [Pharmwaste] Take-back location search engines

Do you happen to know which of the national search engines below:

     *   Are the most inclusive?
     *   Most up-to-date?
     *   Have sites not included in other engines?

The DEA collector site should have every non-law enforcement location that accepts controlled substances.

The National Community Pharmacists Association search engine includes (at least some) pharmacies that don't accept controlled substances.

Do you know of any additional search engines?

Can you estimate the practicality (technical, permissions, and cost) of creating a search engine that would include enough of these data bases that all sites would be included?

Thanks!

Ed
