<div>This is in response to the Scout doing a take back program. I am researching this issue now and I will let you know what I come up with. As far as I know now: If you have law enforcement that are participating in the program you may have an out. Here in Idaho we have a certified incinerator in the next state (UTAH). When a take back program is run the law enforcement is there to collect the medication. He/she then puts the medication into the car and drives it across state line (about 400 mile) to the incinerator. The law enforcement officer then monitors the medication while it burns and then drives home. Quite convoluted, but right now there are not many options. If you found a law enforcement officer to volunteer this may work for you.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am in the process of studying take-back programs around the world, to come up with some effective options. I will let you know if I find out anything else. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Good luck, I hope you find a way to accomplish the goals.</div>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><font color="black" face="arial"></font><span style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></span>We have a Boy Scout that would like to hold an unwanted med. collection event in the fall in Ashtabula County in Northeast Ohio for his Eagle project. He has recruited pharmacists, law enforcement officials, a troop full of volunteers, and has found a host of "how to hold an event" guidelines online but has run into one roadblock -- disposing of the meds. A local hospital told us it could cost us a thousand dollars if he has a successful event. (that's a lot of car washes). Covanta will do it for free if we rent a truck and deliver it to their plant in Niagara Falls. (not very eco-friendly and will a rent-a-truck company let us transport meds across state in their trucks?).</div>

<div><strong>Operation Medicine Cabinet</strong> is a Pharmaceutical Take-Back program that has been developed in Florida to make it easy for all citizens to return unwanted medications including controlled substances. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>As mentioned, key to disposing of all medications including controlled substances is Law Enforcement. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The lead agent in our program is Law Enforcement here in Collier County Florida. We work hand in hand with the Collier County Sheriff's Office, Naples and Marco Island Police Departments. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> I have contacted Steve and we will hopefully be assisting the Boy Scouts in making it happen.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>PS, There will be a national Pharmaceutical Take Back Day on November 13, 2010.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Susan, nice to talk to you this morning. I will send more information later today. If anyone else is interested in this program for your community, send a note. fondly, veora</div>
