Hello All,<br>
I am involved in unwanted meds collection events around the Great
Lakes through a GLRI funded project titled "Undo the Great Lakes
Chemical Brew: Proper PPCP Disposal." At some of these events it is
possible to separate packaging from pills, at others it is not. I'm
looking for a general consensus on weight of pills vs. weight of
packaging. Does such a formula exist?<br>

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>
