Subject: RE: [Pharmwaste] Unwanted Medicine - Police Station Drop Boxes</p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m currently surveying all pharma collection sites in California to comply with our
<a href="http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/07-08/bill/sen/sb_0951-1000/sb_966_bill_20071012_chaptered.html" target="_blank">
SB 966</a> so I have a pretty good handle on all the roughly 45 law enforcement sites in the state – although I’ll know more after all the results come in.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) What state do you work in or represent? California</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) Are police station drop boxes allowed or prohibited in your state? SB 966 mandated that my agency create
<a href="http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/HomeHazWaste/Medications/ModelProgram/Criteria.pdf" target="_blank">
model program guidelines</a>, which are now the leading officially-sanctioned guidelines in California. Those non-mandatory guidelines include language specific to law enforcement programs, and SB 966 includes this statement:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(d) Model programs deemed in compliance with this article shall be deemed in compliance with state law and regulation concerning the handling, management, and disposal of drug waste for the purposes of implementing the model program.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) Is there specific guidance or legal requirements associated with the drop boxes beyond obtaining DEA waivers and complying with haz waste rules/exemptions?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You’re welcome to look through our <a href="http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/HomeHazWaste/Medications/ModelProgram/Criteria.pdf" target="_blank">
15-page guidelines</a> since much of it touches on law enforcement and controlled substances issues. However, these two provisions stand out:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For controlled substances, the signed inventory must accompany the pharmaceutical waste and must stay with law enforcement in the evidence storage locker and through the point of destruction. Before the home-generated pharmaceutical waste
is destroyed, the contents must be checked against the inventory to ensure that there has been no diversion. This is a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency law.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Events:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">c. <u>Law Enforcement</u> - Law enforcement may participate in a collection event to provide security for event personnel. This is optional and at the discretion of collection organizers. A law enforcement officer is only required to attend
and participate in a collection event only if controlled substances are to be accepted at the event. Per U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) law, only a law enforcement officer may accept controlled substances from the consumer. If controlled substances will
be accepted, the operator of the event shall ask the law enforcement agency that is providing the officer if the agency has any specific requirements that the event must adhere to. For example, the law enforcement agency may specify the type of packaging that
the drugs must be contained in to be accepted into their evidence locker, or if the containers the collection event will provide, are adequate for the law enforcement agency purposes. For controlled substances only, law enforcement must be on site at all times
and be able to see the collection and movement of the home-generated pharmaceutical wastes from the public to the collection location. Law enforcement must be able to see the transfer of home-generated pharmaceutical wastes from vehicles to the collection
containers. The operator should coordinate with law enforcement to determine the appropriate position for law enforcement to be stationed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4) Have there been any problems with police station drop boxes in your state?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One program has their drop-box under surveillance in the parking lot about 50 feet from the entrance to their law enforcement facility. They said they had some trouble with what they were assuming were small businesses dropping off a lot
of pharmaceutical waste and/or sharps but that may have worked itself out by now. They also told me if they had to do it over again, they wouldn’t recommend putting the bin in the parking lot if for no other reason because of the inconvenience of emptying
the box that’s 50 feet away. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There’s another program that has secure collection bins in pharmacies (and at law enforcement locations) but only allows law enforcement to collect the waste including controlled substances. The DEA told them they didn’t like that and
would follow up with an official letter saying that, but it’s been about 9 months now and they still haven’t received that letter.
