program to discourage flushing unwanted meds March 20 -- A new outreach program will be aimed at encouraging Southern California residents to properly dispose of their unused and expired medications. The campaign, "No Drugs Down the Drain," discourages people from flushing medications down the toilet. Flushed medications can find their way into the environment, as wastewater treatment facilities are not designed to remove chemicals in the pills. The outreach program began this week, during National Pollution Prevention Week, and has a Web site at www.nodrugsdownthedrain.org.
