<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>The ordinance of SF Environment Code only mandates the posting of "display materials" on the premise and does not specify any provision to actually collect or dispose of unused and expired medicines. Can someone verify this? At minimal, it is a good step in public education to increase awareness. And it's supposedly funded by the pharm. industry.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>

<H3 style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">San Francisco To Launch Waste Medications Take Back Scheme<o:p></o:p></H3>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">On Tuesday, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved proceeding with a trial program for the collection of expired and unwanted prescription drugs. The pilot takes effect on December 1 of this year. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">Under the plan, pharmacies will be required to post "display materials" about the safe disposal of unused prescription drugs by the aforementioned date. Pharmacies not complying with the require would first receive a warning then be subject to a fine. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">The plan was approved by the San Francisco Small Business Commission and is receiving funding by the pharmaceutical industry. Recently enacted California SB 966, tasks CalRecycle with developing criteria and program models for collecting and disposing of waste pharmaceuticals statewide. <o:p></o:p></P>
