anyone care to take a swag at what % of pharma collections from a take-back
program are actually RCRA? I'd hazard (yep, a pun there) less than
0.5%.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

RE: [Pharmwaste] Household pharms (even haz waste)
excluded<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Some states
(including Pennsylvania) do not apply the household haz waste exemption to
waste that is brought back together into one location such as at a collection
event. The pharmaceutical collection events that have been held in PA
have required compliance with PA's hazardous waste regulations as though the
waste had not been household waste. There may be other states that also
do not keep the household waste exemption when household haz waste is
collected. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Virginia
