<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">At last count (in 2010), we had 63 law enforcement program sites in California collecting home-generated pharmaceutical waste and I haven’t heard of this issue from them yet.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">For comparison, I also work with home-generated battery waste and the biggest recycler of rechargeable batteries is RBRC. Rechargeable batteries are a net
gain for them since the metals they get out of the batteries are worth more than the recycling process. However, they often get non-rechargeable batteries in their collection. From memory, they recently found that in British Columbia, when they started collecting
non-rechargeables on top of the rechargeables, they got a 70% increase in the number of rechargeables collected. So, to mirror Pete’s comment below, the public doesn’t often know or notice the difference, and if you just collect it all, you’re bound to get
more of what you want.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
