[pct-l] Disposing of Permithrin ///Re: Pct-L Digest, Vol 99, Issue 1

[Pamela Bryant]

What about cat litter? Buy some cheap cat litter and let it soak up the
excess permithrin from rinsing of the container or bottle 3 times and
dispose empty, rinsed out bottle or container in trash.

A pharmacist told me to use this method to get rid of old medications
instead of disposing down the toilet or trash.
