Expired and unused medications have been reported in the aquifer in almost all states. Bringing them back to your pharmacist can allow for incineration, a safe non polluting way of eliminating medications. Also, expired medications can be used as alternative fuels. Covanta runs 30 plants that use expired medications as fuel and produces cheap electricity all over the Western US. See video response above.
