more like $5-7 per pound, all inclusive for a pharmacy to ship legends and
OTC's. Controlled substances are $50 to $60/lb all inclusive including
the law enforcement escort for witnessed burn at a HW incinerator out of
state. We're definitely looking at WTE facilities as an option
here. I plan to follow what <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Washington</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> is developing on
cost reduction too. In MN, 30-40% of solid waste is burned for energy
recovery. In those areas of the state where waste is burned, I feel
comfortable telling households to follow our current fact sheet that describes
conceal and trash disposal. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

development, ownership 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 color=black><span

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:

pharmaceuticals are present in 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 waters." </span></font><font color=black><span

Product Stewardship Institute (PSI), a non-profit group which has been
spearheading national efforts to define steps for appropriately handling
unwanted drugs. Covanta has worked with PSI, various regulatory agencies, and
with municipalities to reduce the potential for contamination of waterways by
discharged pharmaceuticals. </span></font><font color=black><span

sinks and toilets, or simply thrown in the trash, can cause environmental
harm," said Scott 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 color=black><span

participating in the program must obtain appropriate regulatory approvals in
order to ensure that such wastes are not classified as hazardous waste from a
federal, state, or local perspective. Each program would be subject to a due
diligence review by Covanta Energy. Municipalities interested in participating
should contact Larry DellaVecchia, Director, Covanta Secure Services at
