on file. When a delivery is planned, notify Covanta that you (law enforcement or someone authorized to transport controlled substances) are coming. When you get there, you drive up on the scale for a weight, then take the drugs to the chute for witnessed
destruction. You drive up onto the scale for another weight, and that’s about it.

surface waters, having an adverse effect on our drinking water and the environment. Typical waste water treatment plants are not designed to remove drugs from drinking water, resulting in a negative impact upon aquatic organisms, fish and other wildlife when
these pharmaceuticals are disposed of improperly. In addition, unused medication in the household may contribute to growing rates of prescription drug abuse among Americans, particularly teenagers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the Prescription for Safety Program (Rx4Safety) to provide safe, <u>free disposal of medications collected at community sponsored drug take-back programs</u></span></font></b>. Covanta’s Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facilities provide safe, environmentally sound
