It's due before the holiday break. <BR>One measure of success that I am using is the poundage collected per box per capita compared to other programs. <BR>I'd be very grateful if you would find data about your program and put it in the highlighted boxes in the chart below. The rest are calculated numbers. <BR><BR>In the fictional example below, the "Dump You Dope" program started with three drop-boxes and, two and a half years later, added five more. <BR>These two groups are listed separately to allow for the correct calculation of the pounds/box/day/1000 capita.<BR><BR>The compiled results will be shared with this Listserv (unless you request otherwise.)<BR><BR>If you have any ideas for other ways to evaluate our program, I'd be very interested to hear them!<BR><BR>Thanks for your assistance!<BR><BR><BR>Ed Gottlieb<BR>Chair, Coalition for Safe Medication Disposal <BR>Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator <BR>Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility<BR>525 3rd Street<BR>Ithaca, NY 14850<BR>(607) 273-8381<BR>fax: (607) 273-8433<BR><BR><BR>COMPARISON OF THE WEIGHT OF PHARMACEUTICALS COLLECTED BY A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS<BR>Program Name & Location "Dump You Dope" Average County, NY"Dump You Dope" Average County, NY <BR># drop-boxes 3 5 <BR>population served 100,000 100,000 <BR>data collection start and stop datesto 1/1/2008 to 12/12/2013 4/1/2010 to 12/12/2013 <BR>total days 2173 1352 <BR>items collected / not collected OTC, Controlled, Pet / Sharps, ChemoOTC, Controlled, Pet / Sharps, Chemo <BR>total pounds collected 1794 1648 <BR>average pounds collected per box <BR>per day<BR> 0.2752 0.2438 <BR>average pounds per box per day per 1000 population 0.0028 0.0024 <BR>-------------- next part --------------<BR>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<BR>URL: <A href="http://lists.dep.state.fl.us/pipermail/pharmwaste/attachments/20131212/f2de5b62/attachment-0001.htm">http://lists.dep.state.fl.us/pipermail/pharmwaste/attachments/20131212/f2de5b62/attachment-0001.htm</A><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR><BR>---<BR>Note: As a courtesy to other listserv subscribers, please post messages to the listserv in plain text format to avoid the garbling of messages received by digest recipients.<BR>---<BR>TO SUBSCRIBE, go to: <A href="http://lists.dep.state.fl.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharmwaste">http://lists.dep.state.fl.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharmwaste</A> <BR>TO UNSUBSCRIBE, DO NOT REPLY TO THE LISTSERV.
