We’re not super-environmentally conscious in our neck of the woods, so I don’t see much in the way of old electronics collections days here, but I think they’re pretty popular elsewhere (and maybe will eventually make their way down here…)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">Though it happened by coincidence, Folly Beach, SC held a drug collection event in conjunction with a hot dog-eating contest this past weekend! What an unusual
outreach method! <br>
<br>
Trying to think of a slogan to use if we decide to copy them. Maybe, "Eat too many hot dogs (or unwanted medications) and you will get sick!" A Folly Beach public safety officer told me the event was a success.

amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow patients or their family members to dispose of controlled substance medications at authorized locations, Folly's public safety agency said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

What other unusual event pairings should we be considering as outreach tools? <br>
Please consider sharing what you have done with the group. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
