<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Brian noted that law enforcement doesn’t accept liquids in FL. In MN, the MPCA doesn’t prohibit putting liquids in collection bins, because the inner liners are supposed to be puncture proof and contain liquids.
I’m not sure why anyone prohibits liquids unless law enforcement is not concerned about codeine cough syrup and other liquid CS, like the liquid muscle relaxer prescribed to my mother. I have heard this stated a few places and I don’t understand the origin
of a liquids prohibition. Many of the free bins from NADDI are printed with a no liquids symbol or statement and I believe they specify that recipients may not collect liquids in order to receive the free bin. I suppose I could call them to find out why. Other
than the few NADDI boxes around here, some prohibit infectious waste including IV bags, but not ampules, aerosols, syringes, etc. I know I don’t want any of them to accept liquid chemo in any type of container/IV bag/ampule. OH! Maybe I answered my own question…still
working with our Board to make the prescribing clinic or hospital take that back.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<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"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<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>
