Well if you work in a hosp in pacu (Recovery) I can tell you the fentyl does not go down the sink it goes into the sharps containers where they can be "fished" out (I have done this before) they also dispose of MSO4 (morphine) and other controlled drugs this way but recovery is unique in that respect all other departments squirt um down the sink it just breaks my heart to see them waste these perfectly good drugs. On one good night I ended up with about 50cc's of sublimaze I was in heaven.I have often thought about drug store dumpsters but working in a hosp with access to recovery this is just so much eaiser.My only advice is if the syringe looks dirty don't even chance it most injections are given via IV in Recovery. They say AIDS is bad well let me tell you there is no cure for hepatitis.
