Review of The Drug Takeback Solutions Foundation’s Proposed Changes to its Stewardship Plan for Home-Generated Sharps Waste: Local Agency Requests

6/9/2025

This item presents staff’s analysis of The Drug Takeback Solutions Foundation’s (Foundation) proposed changes to its stewardship plan for home-generated sharps waste, submitted June 2, 2025, regarding local agency requests, which involve reimbursement for the costs of transportation and disposal, or removal of, home-generated sharps waste from a household hazardous waste facility. Foundation resubmitted its proposed changes on July 31, 2005, to clarify the time frame for responding to a local agency's request for removal or reimbursement. 

 

Public Resources Code section 42032(e) and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations section 18973.1(i) require a program operator to submit any significant changes to a stewardship plan in writing to CalRecycle for approval prior to implementation. 

 

Supporting documents will be posted in the “Documents” section. 

 

For the status of all proposed changes submitted by Foundation, see CalRecycle's home-generated sharps waste stewardship plans page.
