pharmaceutical pollutants being discharged into the nation's waterways, Covanta
Energy is launching an important collaboration with municipalities. As
more and more communities establish collection centers for unwanted
medications, Covanta will offer, for 2010, a free disposal and destruction
service designed to keep these products out of the nation's waterways. </span></font><font

and operation of Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facilities and other renewable energy
projects, is rolling out a national program to process pharmaceuticals
collected by local governments in drug take-back programs. These programs
provide residents with a safe and proper way to dispose of unwanted
medications, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter and veterinary
medications and nutritional supplements. When flushed down the drain, or
disposed of in landfills, such products contaminate surface waters and have an
adverse effect on the environment.</span></font><font size=2 face=Verdana><span

our nation's streams and rivers. We want to help prevent the discharge of these
drugs into the waters that we drink, the waters where we fish and the waters
where we swim," said John G. Waffenschmidt, Vice President, Environmental
Science and Community Affairs. "Our facilities are equipped with
state-of-the-art combustion controls and air pollution control equipment to
ensure the destruction of these drugs in an environmentally sound manner, one
that protects the water we depend upon day in and day out. Our facilities
ensure that any pharmaceuticals processed in them do not end up in surface

Cassel, Executive Director of the Product Stewardship Institute.
"Take-back programs can lower the environmental and health risks
associated with waste pharmaceuticals. Covanta's offer will reduce the cost of
take-back programs in municipalities that choose this kind of destruction.
Thermal destruction at Energy-from-Waste facilities, hazardous waste
incinerators, or medical waste incinerators, provides for the ultimate
destruction of these unwanted drugs."</span></font><font size=2
