My second question, left on their answering machine, was, "How are the institutions, listed at the bottom of their webpage, "related". Two of the links provided (Wake Up & SMARxT Disposal) do not lead to anything having to do with pharmaceutical disposal.

<b>Drug Dispose All</b> was created by a world renowned Chemist from the University of Texas at Arlington. Currently meets all DEA, EPA and CDC standards for safe destruction of Controlled Substances along with other medications. We had independent tests done
on the effectiveness of the Drug Dispose All and it passed with flying colors. Our environmental tests show that it meets EPA solid waste standards and can be disposed of in the regular trash with no harm to the environment. We are currently rolling this product
