Which action should an authorized collector not perform with respect to the receptacle?

• A. Refill it with medications
• B. Move the receptacle
• C. Dispose of their own inventory or stock in the receptacle
• D. Report to authorities

Answer: (C)

Authorized collectors run take-back programs where the receptacle is used to collect medications surrendered by the public and then disposed of through approved, secure methods. The action that should not be done is putting their own inventory or stock into the receptacle. This would bring in personal supplies, breaking the intended public-only purpose, compromising accountability and chain-of-custody, and potentially violating regulations. The receptacle is not a general disposal container for the collector’s inventory; it’s a controlled channel for public medicines to be destroyed properly.
