ONDCP from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, which represents
municipal wastewater treatment agencies across the country and which, similar
to Palo Alto, was not happy about <i>any</i> suggestion that it is O.K. to
flush unused meds. – Dave Galvin, Local Hazardous Waste Management

wanted to let all of you know that Office of National Drug Control Policy
responded to our comment letter regarding the Federal Guidelines for the Proper
Disposal of Pharmaceutical Waste. There is nothing new in the letter but
I thought that I would share the response letter with you. For your
convenience I have attached our letter that we sent to ONDCP as well as their
response. Also I am not sure if you are aware ONDCP now has a video clip
on how to dispose of your unwanted pharmaceutical waste see <a
