Eliminate return bins from ADC machines (Pyxis)

Has any institution eliminated return bins from your ADC machines (we use Pyxis) and had all unused medications either tubed down to pharmacy or discarded as pharmaceutical waste? All controlled substances would be wasted with a witness; controlled substance waste would be tracked through diversion monitoring with Bluesight.

Looking to hear your experiences, what drove this decision, and how you feel about it since. Would you make the same decision again? Pros/cons.

TIA
