Waste Bureau does not allow incineration at all. At the take back events that
we do, usually a contractor is hired to deal with the non-controlled
medications, and the controlled medications are taken into custody by the
police department. From there they are mixed into a 5 gallon bucket with some
concrete and then landfilled. Folks think that this is secure enough (what
addict is going to dig in a landfill to break apart concrete to get a fix?) aside
from the fact that I think the chemical reactions with the concrete might
render some of the medicines inert. However, there is a group here who is
trying to get the Solid Waste rules changed in order to allow incineration. <o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
