[Sqg-program] RE: pharm collection programs web site

[Debra Kaspar]

Monday I will scan a flyer we have for permanent take back box locations at Sarasota County Sheriff's Offices and the surrounding counties that accept controlled substances as well as pharmaceutical medications.

I do take issue with the link under Sarasota County that does not say they do not accept controlled substances and I do believe that needs to be spelled out as well as some examples of controlled substances. They can contact their doctor if they have questions.

Subject: pharm collection programs web site

Here is my first iteration of this web site showing collection events and sites: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/waste/categories/medications/pages/disposal.htm

After asking for help from the HHW list serve, I have gotten information from some counties that does not appear yet. I will be adding a bunch of additional program information next month. So you can still help me get the most accurate information possible if you know anything specific about your county that does not appear yet.

If you know of other types of collection, for example other mail-back options or one-day events, I'd also like to hear about them.


Thanks everyone!
Laurie
