HOUSTON (KSTU) -- The Drug Enforcement Agency needs to clear its evidence vaults of marijuana that is no longer needed for evidentiary purposes, and they're looking for a contractor in Texas that can incinerate a very high volume of pot.
According to a document outlining the DEA's requirements, the incineration provider must be able to process at least 1,000 pounds of marijuana per hour, for eight hours a day.
The contractor must be able to accept tightly compressed bricks or bales of pot in packages weighing up to 200 pounds each.
The DEA would monitor the incineration process via closed-circuit cameras and require annual drug tests for all of the incineration facility's employees.
