dc.description.abstract | From an initial group of six pharmacies in 2002,
now every pharmacy in the area is a part of
the DUMP initiative, which urges consumers
to `Dispose of Unused Medication Properly?
and attempts to achieve this by encouraging
patients to return unused medicines to their
local pharmacy. The quantity of pharmaceuticals
collected in the pilot for six weeks was 108kg.
This rose signi?cantly to 4.47 tonnes for the ?rst
full year of collection (2004) when all pharmacies
were involved. Year on year, the quantity being
collected has increased signi?cantly with total of 12 tonnes collected in 2007. | en |
