Hello,<br>
<br>
We've run across a couple of city ordinances that forbid people from possessing controlled substances in anything but their original containers. This<br>
presents a problem because, in reality, some people carry these drugs around in other containers or keep them in pill reminders. Or, people<br>
(caregivers) may dispose of these drugs of behalf of someone else.<br>
<br>
Have any other drug collection programs addressed this issue? If so, what do you advise residents to do in these situations?<br>
<br>
