University of the Sciences in Philadelphia is a particular source of
expertise on the handling of pharmaceuticals. It has disseminated PR
during this year on exactly this subject. There are significant concerns
with toxicity and pollution. I'd recommend checking with its PR department.

has anyone experience with or expertise in how to dispose of various
chemicals, including lithium, indomethacin, ancient antibiotics... and
some other miscellaneous old i.e. outdated or useless meds? Talking
to CVS people I had the distinct impression that they would not
incinerate them, but probably send them to a land fill... ugh.
the rivers don't seem like a good idea... compost heap? a cook
out and burn them up ourselves? I do know the toxic waste people will
take batteries, paints, etc..... has anyone given them old medicines?
thanks for any hints or connects..
