I have been in the medical waste industry for over 20 years in both the hauling business, mailback, and as an independent consultant. I used to hear the same concerns about medical waste being handed over to a truck driver – “wouldn’t it be safer to destroy/encapsulate/burn it yourself and put it in the trash?” As long as humans are involved in the handling of anything of value there is the potential for diversion. How is it any safer to hand a truckload of pharmaceuticals to a hauling company driver with no enforcement component to his company after a takeback program than a citizen handing a non-descript mailer to a postal worker who does? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>In addition, look at how those drugs get to pharmacies in the first place.

I would have to ask what controls are in place to 100% eliminate diversion by haulers, doctors prescribing and handing out samples, grandma’s grandson stealing drugs from her medicine cabinet, police officers in evidence rooms, and yes, common carriers. If someone can come up with a 100% foolproof method I think we would all gladly implement it. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Non-</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'>controlled household drugs are solid waste and can be incinerated at a variety of types of permitted incinerators.

We all have our own opinions based on a variety of data as to what is best, safest, most convenient, most confidential, etc. However, often times our opinions are based on our own personal or business biases. I can find something wrong with any method you choose. There is no one right way to solve the issue of unused medication disposal. My wish is that we all could understand that we want the same thing – the safety of our water, land, air, and citizens. Some people love the takeback idea, some people love the mailback; some people will pay to have their drugs disposed properly, some people will not pay. Then there are those who don’t care, or have not bought into the fact that this is an problem worth solving. Instead of fighting over mailback or takeback, why don’t we work toward moving those folks who don’t want to take advantage of either to one or the other.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Thanks Jeff for bringing up the concerns, and to this list serve for allowing us to have these discussions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>Jan Harris</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:gray'> |</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'> <span style='color:gray'>Director, Environmental Health & Safety</span><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>Sharps Compliance, Inc.<br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:gray'>| m-713-927-9956</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:jharris@sharpsinc.com"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:gray;text-decoration:none'>jharris@sharpsinc.com</span></a> <span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:gray'>|</span> <a href="http://www.sharpsinc.com"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:gray;text-decoration:none'>http://www.sharpsinc.com</span></a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> pharmwaste-bounces@lists.dep.state.fl.us [mailto:pharmwaste-bounces@lists.dep.state.fl.us] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jeff Hollar<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, July 07, 2011 8:54 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Stevan Gressitt'; 'pharmwaste'; 'rxnews'<br><b>Subject:</b> RE: [Pharmwaste] Fwd: Google Alert - unused medicine disposal<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Regarding mailback programs: What about the potential of theft in transit?
