So currently I’m working on a project where we have to identify an environmental problem. And my group has chosen that when medicine is improperly disposed of, it contaminates the water. And we need to do a service project which will help this problem. We were thinking of having a medicine collection drive at a hospital, but no places seem to get back to us when we call and ask. Any suggestions of what else we could do?

The problem with that is it is illegal. Hospitals or doctors or pharmacies can not just give you the drugs. Your best bet would be to phone the FDA. They maybe able to help you obatain the drugs or authorization to do it and not break the law.
