But 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>

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>

<P style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=black size=3 face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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></FONT></P>

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>

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></FONT></P>
