We do have yellow jug in our County, however, our locations are not accepting narcotics. I am looking for disposal options for liquid narcotics.
Thanks!

The Yellow Jug Old Drugs would work great for liquids. You could see if there is a pharmacy in your county that has one:

I recently found out Kalamazoo County has six pharmacies with jugs for customers to use.
By putting in the trash it would get it out of the house but could still find its way to the groundwater.
Also, Cindy saw these webinars so maybe EPA will have something new:
EPA will host two public webinars to present the main provisions being proposed and to answer some questions on the proposal.
The Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals Proposed Rule:
Tuesday, October 13, 2015 from 2:00 to 3:30 EDT.

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying this brisk fall day.
Here is a question from Kate Neese in Clinton County. Please reply all so that we may all gain information.
Thank you!

Good Morning!
Our department helps coordinate a year round collection for narcotics and my Sergeant just emailed asking how best to deal with liquid narcotics? We have been using the DEA’s program to dispose of our narcotics but the DEA will not accept
liquids. And my Sergeant does not want to drive to Kent County to dispose of the liquids. Should we just encourage our residents to render the liquids useless and put them in the trash? Or are there better options?
Thanks,
Kate Neese – Recycling & Waste Management Coordinator
