<div>Hi Jennifer. I can only speak for Sharps. We have many LTCF customers across the country using our receptacle systems and also our mail backs, both for all drugs including controls. Sometimes the communities pay for the cost of the receptacles (from individual
communities to corporate owners of many communities) and sometimes the cost is incurred by the collector Pharmacies. It’s important to also work with individual state LTCF regulatory agencies that play a part as to how controlled drug collection is regulated
in their states in addition to individual boards of pharmacy. We have collected and and destroyed onsite tons of unused meds including controls from the LTC industry. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Just checking in whether anyone knows if Long Term Care Facilities are being assisted by pharmacies hosting collection bins, if they are using the deactivation units
or contracting with a service to have pharm waste hauled off-site. I did a bit of googling, but it all ends with “contact us to find out more information” and I don’t feel like calling a bunch of places to confirm whether they accept controlled substances,
or whether LTCFs and other healthcare facilities are using these services. I also welcome replies by companies that provide these services. I’m mainly trying to figure out if the barrier is cost, or whether there is no significant options available for LTCF’s.
