Is it legal for a veterinary clinic to dispose controlled drugs by dumping them down the drain.?

Absolutely not. I strongly encourage you to get a hold of OSHA as soon as possible. Don't forget where those drugs are ending up by dumping them down the drain. The employer is 100% responsible for the safety of his staff and the animals that are in his care. If anyone gets sick because of the exposure to radiation, he is criminally responsible, infact, he is criminally responsible for the dumping of drugs down the drain. This veterinary clinic needs to be reported for illegal practices as soon as possible. Don't let your health be compromised by a vet who seems to be too cheap to properly equip his employees with the proper gear needed. Remember, this is your life, don't let someone else decide if you will get sick or not.

Usually you would have to take a State Test in sewage disposal, through your local health department. Georgia requires one know since 1998 and the test is complicated.

nothing because you shouldn't be selling that drug to anyone. If they have a bad effect and end up sick, in the hospital, etc are you going to have a clear conscience?

Selling medication that was prescribed to you is very illegal.  Do NOT do it!  If you do not intend on using the medication as prescribed to you, then there are 2 options... 1)  flush it down the toilet .. 2) take the medication back to your pharmacy and they will dispose of it properly.

There's supposed to be, but it's not fool-proof yet. Any one who knows about this, and knows where, when and who should report it. The business who is allowing large sales of medicine, unless it is to a doctor or a pharmacist, could be charged I believe. I would talk to someone in the know about it, police or your doctor. Just say you're concerned about it, and you would like to know if it's legal or what.

Selling drugs is ILLEGAL!!! Stay away from the house. If the Police raid it and you are there you will be charged with frequenting a known drug establishment. It doesnt matter if they sell once a day or 100 times a day. A drug house is a drug house.

Assuming that you use the syringes legally, you should have a sharps container to put them into. You can then usually take that to the local hospital for disposal.  My cousin does this. The hospital allows her to exchange the container for an empty one about every other month. So far as I know, the don't charge her for doing that. Hope this helps.

Well, the law in specifics is different from state to state.  But my best advice (I'm only a former legal secretary, not a lawyer) is to remove the rubbish to the appropriate dump or whatever, and charge their escrow account for its removal.  If you dump it on their new place, you would be liable for their damages in cleaning it up.\n\nIf escrow has already closed, you can still sue them in small claims court for the costs of removal.\n\nRemember, you want the problem resolved, not escalated into a feud.

we can buy animal controlled drugs for our dogs via the internet, but we have to send them the vets prescription prior to the delivery. maybe its the same for human drugs ?

No. Not unless some drug salesperson gives him/her a kickback. But that's not typical... it's done under the table and it isn't ethical.

Someone should call the local Health Department.  There are many risks and there are strict guidelines for distributing, storing, and giving shots of any kind.  This can't possibly have been given buy licensed professionals.  If so their license to practice needs to be seriously looked into.  Everything you've mentioned is against all Health laws.  Call the Health Department immediately and report this.

Drain and Trash Disposal of Chemicals \n\nThe disposal of chemicals via a sink drain and/or normal trash is highly-regulated and subject to public concern and scrutiny. Federal, state, and city government agencies have established rules and regulations which strictly limit chemical disposal to the sewer and trash. These rules and regulations have been established to protect human health and the environment from an exposure to hazardous substances, as well as to prevent damage to the City’s water treatment facilities.\n\nIn addition, all of the College’s refuse waste is collected, handled, and processed by numerous persons prior to its ultimate disposal. During this period, the potential for containers to break and expose person(s) to an “unknown” chemical could be significant. Furthermore, with the increased public alarm and concern about chemical and biological agents being released to the public, it has been determined that it is in the College’s and public’s best interests to not allow the disposal of containers of chemicals via the normal trash.\n\nThis Update shall provide instruction to determine if a chemical is acceptable for drain or trash disposal.
