[Pharmwaste] landfill vs. incineration

[Taam, Damon]

Hi Valerie,

Attached is a general statement of why communities and businesses choose
Waste to Energy facilities (WTE) vs landfills, it applies to the
disposal of waste pharmaceuticals as well. WTE is destruction of waste
organics by combusting the waste as a fuel in a controlled boiler,
incineration is destruction of waste organics in a vessel that is heated
with external fuels, natural gas, coal, oil. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to call me.
