PROPOSAL AIMED AT DISPOSAL
Burbank Leader, CA
Nov 4 2006
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved Michael
Antonovich's motion to direct county staffers to pursue the possibility
of expanding a pharmaceutical disposal program to the entire county.
The "No Drugs Down the Drain" program informs residents about the
hazards of throwing away medications in places where they can reach
surface waters and negatively affect the environment. Research has
shown that medications in surface waters complicates human growth
and reproduction.
The program encourages county residents to either dispose of medicine
waste at hazardous-waste collection centers or seal them in sturdy
plastic containers before putting them in trash cans.

economic and democratic development in Armenia, and in strengthening
