on general principal it seems adding any fluid to the mix increases the chances
of leakage, of which we have had none to date. The mixology of unknown
chemicals being comingled seems like inviting trouble. Perhaps the volume of
what is returned is higher by asking for original containers, but remember we
were counting what came in. Hopefully EPA will let the report on the final be
released in a week or so. However, ask someone like a pharmacist what happens
to some of the enteric coated pills that someone might leave in their pants
pockets and let it run through the washer? Right a nice clean totally
undissolved pill. Ph was wrong for dissolution to occur. Not sure what you
might think of making that liquid slurry out of…..<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Sheriff’s practice of “dissolving” controlled substances
reminds me of another issue, which Stevan or others in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Maine</st1:place></st1:State> may be able to answer – the
pharma mailback mailers that I’ve seen now instruct people to keep the
pharmaceuticals in their original containers when placed into the provided
envelope. That does seem to increase the bulk and weight of each mailer.
I can see the concern that loose pills could slip out of the envelope,
but it appears that even putting all the pills together into a single sealable
baggie – or maybe into a single pill bottle - and then into the envelope
is not an option. Is this a USPS concern that certain drug mixtures could
be hazardous? If you make a slurry of any pills with any liquids
and put it in a sealable baggie - which always has the potential to leak when
mailed – could those mixtures be dangerous to the average postal worker?
Likewise, if household hazardous waste facilities receive loose
pharmaceuticals and then comingle them with poisons, how dangerous could that
be? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
