Medco’s Las Vegas Pharmacy opened in 1996 as the world's largest fully automated dispensing pharmacy and has dispensed 340 million prescriptions since opening its doors. Medco Las Vegas currently dispenses over 650,000 prescriptions weekly and employs a work force of over 1500 employees. Medco quickly started looking at a waste reduction and recycling program to minimize their impact on the environment. For the past ten years, the Medco Las Vegas site has been committed to sustainability by recycling 500+ tons of plastics, 220+ tons of cardboard and 100+ tons of paper annually. With the creation of a site level "Green Team" and their long-term relationship with Evergreen Recycling, Medco hopes to continue to increase their recycling rate and reduce their overall impact on the environment. We applaud Medco Health Solutions for making a difference in our environment and setting a great example in our community. Visit www.medco.com for more information.   Evergreen is committed to its mission of diverting valuable material from landfills, recycling those commodities for reuse and preserving virgin resources. Our ultimate goal is to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gases and further degradation to our environment. In the second quarter of 2009 Evergreen's recycled volume was equivalent to offsetting the carbon footprint of all Las Vegas inbound and outbound flights for one month. Our team at Evergreen is always seeking new opportunities to take "Green" to the next level. Recently, we formed partnerships with local businesses and municipalities to offer green waste composting programs. This new service has given us the opportunity to recycle green waste that otherwise would have been sent to the landfills. We continue to research alternative energy markets and technologies for re-purposing wood and other biomass; and a few projects are in the concept and planning stages. In short we are creating added value from waste materials and delivering this value to our customers. The core element of our marketing effort today is to focus on educating the local community on the importance of recycling and exercising our environmental responsibilities. As part of our community out-reach, we are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our team, Recycle Man, Evergreen's official super-hero mascot. Recycle Man ventures out into schools and local businesses to educate our customers and our children on the positive environmental impacts one can make by recycling. Also... Check out our new website featuring a live action facility tour and new sections that include; Services, Green Building, Our Facilities, About Us, In the Community, Become a Customer, and a new user friendly Online Ordering feature. At Evergreen, we take great pride in doing our part to preserve and protect our Mother Earth. Please let us know when we can help you in this worthy endeavor.
