<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It is my understanding the Disposal system is based on activated charcoal to which the drug molecules can adhere, making it difficult to divert. The contents would then be disposed by the homeowner into the trash,
so it would still be landfilled but leaching would be greatly reduced. I do not know if long term leaching could occur. So it may make sense for the homebound to use such a system. It does concern me that the unit is also being marketed to institutions with
no consideration for RCRA hazardous waste regulations or landfill waste acceptance procedures from businesses. I do not know of any approvals issued by DEA for this type of technology.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">DEA will not be funding any additional take-back days. The State of Wisconsin, where I am located, will be funding biannual take-back days to assist law enforcement in the disposal of their collected materials.
Perhaps other states will step into the gap. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is being considered as a product to provide to homebound residents through a local drug coalition. The only “proper” collection options currently available in the area are drop boxes at law enforcement offices which only accept solids
or waiting for a DEA take-back day. <o:p></o:p></p>
