<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#002060">Congratulations! I love that you are able to give out the unified message!&nbsp; We finally got our marketing materials put together and are hopefully ready to update
 our website. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#002060"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#002060">In case someone out there is in a similar position of not quite being ready to get out a unified message, I am hopeful that you don&#8217;t have others entities working
 at cross purposes, who don&#8217;t review your website information on disposal and who do not contact the people in your agencies who have been working for several years to establish a collection network for pharms. I was sorely disappointed that the attached letter
 went out to all cities and through other channels across MN with no check in to the state disposal authority (MPCA) or the Board of Pharmacy. Now we have extra work to do to counter the messaging that has already gone out. Our website says to first contact
 your sheriff&#8217;s office to see if they collect, then use trash disposal if you have to. With nearly 100 collection sites, we don&#8217;t think anyone will have to do that anymore. We do not agree with the guidance from the ONDCP on flushing some medications, we never
 have. &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#002060">But the letter says otherwise and it went out first. So, if you are planning a unified message, you might want to let Smarxt Disposal know exactly what that
 is, sooner rather than later.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 insert in bags with prescription medications.&nbsp; PSW encouraged pharmacists to inform their patients about nearby disposal locations and to consider volunteering their time at medication collection sites.</span><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
