<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=125532012-02052007>Although the state of
Connecticut has not included pharmaceutical waste to our universal waste rules,
we plan to explore this option in the future. Our universal waste rules
currently include used electronics for example. I can see that this
option would promote the proper and safe management of hazardous consumer
products with some streamlined requirements and possibly promote
recycling-it has been our experience that virtually all returned drugs
are disposed not recycled. I'm not sure if I agree with not
considering a waste a waste until the redistribution center makes the
determination. As a universal waste, it seems to me that the waste would be
declared a waste by the generator, rightfully so!</SPAN></DIV>

waste stream as a universal waste. </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Michigan has already included pharmaceutical waste in their universal waste
