>>><BR>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. 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 & 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. 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 "out there"
putting together a repository to answer question like yours? We've
created the problem, "Don't flush!", but can't provide the quick
answers. I've had several calls like this. 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. A
national "proper disposal" repository should be in every one of our
hands.<BR><BR>Allen g<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From:
