color:#1F497D'>The La Crosse County Sheriff’s practice of “dissolving”
controlled substances reminds me of another issue, which Stevan or others in
Maine 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></p>

that there will be a number of situations develop where there will be diversion

in California to comply with our <a

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></span></p>

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></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='color:black'>(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></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='color:black'>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></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='color:black'>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></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='color:black'>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></span></p>

style='color:black'>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></span></p>

haven’t received that letter. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
