National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

Picture
The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse and medications.

Why remove unwanted medications?

Keeping unused, unwanted and expired medications in your home poses a risk to you, your family and your community. When disposed of improperly, medications can still be obtained for illegal use or can contaminate our waters.

For Our Children
Prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications and supplements are involved in over half of unintentional child poisoning incidents. Two-thirds of teens who report abuse of prescriptions medicine are getting them from friends, family and acquaintances. Make sure the teens in your life don’t have access to your medicine.

For Our Community
Prescription drug abuse is a serious and growing problem in our community. Abuse of medicines is increasing rapidly with serious consequences.
​
For Our Waters
When residents dispose of medicines in the toilet or sink, these contaminants are passed on to municipal waste water treatment or septic systems. Many pharmaceuticals cannot be effectively removed by these systems
