La Crosse County Sheriff's practice of "dissolving" controlled
substances reminds me of another issue, which Stevan or others in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Maine</st1:State></st1:place> 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>

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></font></p>

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>
