  2. Contact Environmental Affairs staff at x2883 or x4999 to arrange a time for pick up of the controlled substances. (UW-Milwaukee DEA Controlled Substance Disposal Form and usage log should be available at the time of the pick-up.)
  3. Environmental Affairs personnel will pick up the DEA controlled substance the day before the shipment. Because Environmental Affairs in not a DEA registrant, the substance can not be stored by Environmental Affairs.
  4. The registrant must be present at the time of pick up in order to sign over custody of the controlled substance to Environmental Affairs.
  5. Once Environmental Affairs receives confirmation that the substances have been destroyed, they will note the date on the DEA Controlled Substance Disposal Form. A copy of the completed form will then be sent to the registrant.
