RG12635137 The People of The State of CA v. Walgreen Co.

I’m reading now a complaint filed for unlimited civil, case # RG12635137 on 06/18/12 in Alameda County, California by district attorneys from multiple counties detailing severe and flagrant violations of environmental and privacy laws.  Walgreens is not the only company to have done this either.  There have been similar cases brought and won against Target, CVS, and possibly others as well.

The facts are shocking.  These companies are not separating their waste.  They are not properly disposing of toxic items like batteries and toxic chemicals.  Instead they have been just throwing stuff in dumpsters. 

The complaint also states that they’ve been dumping patient records.  These are more than likely related to prescriptions that their pharmacies process.
