<DIV>That's is interesting. However, I recall when putting information together for a collection event a couple of years ago, Federal EPA recommends that pills be emptied from their containers and mixed with coffee grounds...so, which has more muscle?<BR><BR></DIV>

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><BR>Amy Roering<BR>Hennepin County | Department of Environmental Services | MC L-609<BR>701 Fourth Avenue South, Suite 700 | Minneapolis, MN 55415<BR>Office phone (612) 348-8992 | Cell phone (612) 382-5790<BR>Faxes (612) 348-6510 & (612) 348-8532<BR>amy.roering@co.hennepin.mn.us<BR><BR>Disclaimer: Information in this message or an attachment may be government data and thereby subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13, may be subject to attorney-client or work product privilege, may be confidential, privileged, proprietary, or otherwise protected, and the unauthorized review, copying, retransmission, or other use or disclosure of the information is strictly prohibited.
