Is there specific guidance or legal requirements associated with the drop boxes
beyond obtaining DEA waivers and complying with haz waste
rules/exemptions? Our agreement with the City and DEA is that all controlled
substances get destroyed in front of a sworn Chicago Police officer. We
usually do this by dumping them in a drum of solvents that will eventually be
incinerated....Waste to Power.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>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">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>1)
What state do you work in or represent? California<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>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">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:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>(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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>3)
Is there specific guidance or legal requirements associated with the drop boxes
beyond obtaining DEA waivers and complying with haz waste rules/exemptions?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>You’re
welcome to look through our <a
href="http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/HomeHazWaste/Medications/ModelProgram/Criteria.pdf">15-page
guidelines</a> since much of it touches on law enforcement and controlled
substances issues. However, these two provisions stand out:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Events:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>4)
Have there been any problems with police station drop boxes in your state?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
