[Pharmwaste] Where is Walgreens destroying collected pharms?

[Catherine Zimmer]

Hi Debbie and all,

Walgreens, as a regulated party is required to disclose disposal of its
hazardous wastes and its evaluations for non-hazardous wastes, including
pharmaceuticals.  I suggest you contact the hazardous waste division of
OH-EPA and ask them for Walgreens annual or biennial reports.  

 

Very truly yours,

Good morning,

 

I hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend!

 

I could have sworn I'd reached out to someone at Walgreens in Ohio to find
out where they were sending collected pharms to be destroyed, but I just
can't find anything.

 

Do you know where they are sending it in your state?  Or are they using one
facility nationwide, like the one in Texas?

 

Thanks!

Debbie
