<p class=MsoNormal>Please help us to update our drug take-back website! <a

Pharmaceuticals, includes a listing of on-going take-back programs across the
country. We have updated the information on all the programs currently listed.
If you have an <b>ongoing drug take-back program</b> that is not on the list
linked below, please let us know!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We are looking to track “on-going” programs…what
do we mean by that? Any program besides a one-day collection event…mail-back,
collection sites that are open daily, or regularly-scheduled collection events.
Are you running a collection event that takes place every 6 months? The first
Saturday of the month? We’d be glad to include them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The purpose of this page is to provide a snapshot of the
level and type of ongoing drug take-back programs happening around the country,
and to provide contacts to help people interested in doing a program to find
someone in their state or region from whom they can learn. This is NOT intended
as a website for consumers, so information about hours of operation is not
necessary (we suggest providing this information to Earth911.com). We are also
not collecting data on actual drugs collected, etc., as done by Matthew Mireles.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you to everyone for your hard work to make these
programs happen! <o:p></o:p></p>
