Covanta Energy Rx4Safety OK Bureau of Narcotics Tulsa, OK Program Event

Published January 11, 2013

Covanta Energy Rx4Safety OK Bureau of Narcotics Tulsa, OK Program Event – The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) has partnered with the City of Tulsa and Covanta WBH, the owner/operator of the Energy-from-Waste facility in Tulsa, to safely dispose of prescription drugs collected throughout the state. Since March 1, 2011, through the Safe Trip for Scripts Program, OBN has distributed nearly one-hundred (100) permanent drug disposal metal containers in police and sheriff department lobbies for the public to safely dispose of prescription drugs in their homes and medicine cabinets. To date, the agency has collected nearly one (1) ton of old, expired medication from the disposal containers. Covanta started its Rx4Safety Program in 2010. Its Tulsa Energy-from-Waste facility processes all of the City of Tulsa’s municipal solid waste into clean, renewable energy. At the Covanta facility, the collected medications will be combusted at high temperatures to ensure their complete destruction, unlike other methods of disposal that can contaminate water sources.
