Lewis County General Hospital Pharmacy</a> in Lowville. Due to high resident demand and satisfaction, four of the five participating pharmacies opted to continue offering residents this safe disposal option for removing leftover medications from their homes,
taking over the program cost themselves. The main reason the fifth pharmacy did not continue was its close proximity to a hospital-based collection site.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">NYPSC works to implement the principles of product stewardship in New York State and nationally by providing leadership, guidance, and resources (including policies, evaluations,
and educational tools) to individuals, organizations, institutions, local governments, the state legislature, elected officials, and manufacturers. Product stewardship is the act of minimizing health, safety, environmental and social impacts of a product and
its packaging throughout all lifecycle stages, and maximizing economic benefits. The producer of a product has the greatest ability to minimize adverse impacts, but other stakeholders such as suppliers, retailers, and consumers also play a role. The NYPSC
educates these stakeholders about the benefits of product stewardship and provides a forum for the exchange of information regarding existing policies and programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
