Quotes
I thank the Citizens Campaign for the Environment and Covanta Energy for coming together to raise awareness on this vital issue and for providing our residents with a safe manner in which to dispose of their unused medications ... This is a matter of public health and safety. If not disposed of properly, these dangerous substances could not only fall into the wrong hands but also end up contaminating our ground and drinking water. I urge anyone with medication they are not using to take advantage of the opportunity provided.
Prescription drug abuse is growing at an alarming rate. By collecting and properly disposing of household drugs, we can help to keep them out of the wrong hands.

I applaud Citizens Campaign for the Environment and Covanta Energy for providing free, safe destruction of medications at the West Babylon facilityMore quotes »
