Pharmaceutical Waste and Disposal:
Stakeholder Meetings

 

Stakeholders first assembled in September 2008 to hear experts present information on pharmaceutical waste disposal and to enable participants to contribute ideas and suggestions. Input from the workshop was the first step in learning about the issues and concerns related to developing a pharmaceutical waste and disposal program in Idaho. Follow-up meetings are being held.
