Seems someone should have started a repository outlining what individual states
around the nation were (or weren't) allowing (via legislation, regs or policy)
as proper disposal.&nbsp; And another repository what each individual state
require/recommended for proper disposal.<br>
<br>
The few bills I've seen something on were from: WA, FL, ME, CA, IL, our 111th
Congress' HBs 1191 &amp; 1359.<br>
<br>
Dr. Mireles, through his Community Medical Foundation for Patient Safety
(http://www.communityofcompetence.com/) should have the most comprehensive
listing of take-back, return and other innovative programs nationwide.&nbsp;
Can't find it on their website, but it seems the map he showed last August had
pharmaceutical disposal programs bunched up in the NE (Gressitt territory), all
over CA, WA, a good smattering around WI, IN, IL and the Great Leaks area.<br>
<br>
Is someone &quot;out there&quot; putting together a repository to answer
question like yours?&nbsp; We've created the problem, &quot;Don't flush!&quot;,
but can't provide the quick answers.&nbsp; I've had several calls like
this.&nbsp; Our state just marqueed our 2nd take-back program, but if
transportation/travel time is a problem, all I can answer is the kitty
litter/coffee grounds/trash it practice.&nbsp; A national &quot;proper
disposal&quot; repository should be in every one of our hands.<br>
