Elephant Pharm and Com-Cycle Partner for Safe Medicine Disposal

HAYWARD, CA, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Com-Cycle, a wholly owned subsidiary of AERC Recycling Solutions, is pleased
to announce that Elephant Pharm is sponsoring Com-Cycle "Electronics
Recycling Events" for Bay Area businesses and residents as part of their "Earth
Day"
support of the Teleosis Institute's Green Pharmacy Program.

Elephant Pharm's free drop-off locations will accept computers, monitors,
televisions, and other miscellaneous electronics between the hours of 9 am
and 3 pm Saturday, April 12th, at the Walnut Creek Elephant Pharm located at
1388
South California at Newell Avenue and the San Rafael Elephant Pharm, 909 Grand
Avenue at 3rd Street. Free drop-offs can also be made between the hours of 9
am and 3 pm, Sunday, April 13th, at the Berkeley Elephant Pharm located at 1607
Shattuck Avenue at Cedar Street and the Los Altos Elephant Pharm, 4470 El
Camino Real near San Antonio Road.

"By partnering with Teleosis and Com-Cycle, we are both educating and
helping
our communities better dispose of unwanted or unneeded products," says Chandre
Sarkar, director of wellness education and community outreach at Elephant Pharm.
"Elephant Pharm is pleased to provide an easy-to-access drop-off location for
Bay Area
businesses and residents."

"In support of 'Earth Day,' Com-Cycle has partnered with Volt and several
more
California businesses and civic organizations to ensure electronics and
electronic
waste are properly recycled," states Frank Alioto, president of Com-Cycle.
"Com-Cycle is proud to partner with Elephant Pharm and take the additional
step of ensuring our waterways stay clear of pharmaceutical pollutants."

By dropping off unused and/or obsolete computers, cell phones, televisions
and other
electronic devices at one of the four Elephant Pharm locations, Bay Area
businesses
and residents will be helping to keep unwanted waste out of landfills while
raising money for the Teleosis Institute of Berkeley, CA, a non-profit
educational organization devoted to reducing the environmental impact of
health care.

Teleosis' Green Pharmacy Program was launched in an effort to reduce
pharmaceutical pollution of San Francisco waterways and to increase public
awareness in regards to the environmental impact of discarded medications. Since
June
2007, over 900 pounds of unused and expired medicines have been diverted from
San Francisco waterways. The program establishes community-based take-back sites
where consumers can take unused medications and sponsors events advocating
environmentally safe disposal of unwanted medications.

Elephant Pharm and Teleosis are partners in safe medicine disposal. Unused
and/or expired medications can be dropped off at any Elephant Pharm during
regular pharmacy hours.
