Stop accumulating those drugs! There are Drug Take-Back Days throughout the year, but today is the DEA’s Prescription Drug Take-Back Day–a good day to take care of this important chore. Gather all your left-over prescriptions, those drugs that you don’t need, and ones that are outdated. Take them to a near-by collection site to be disposed of properly. Call your local police department to find a location or ask at your favorite pharmacy.
Medications don’t have to be in their original containers. Also, you just drop them off–no questions about who you are or where you got them.
This cleans out your medicine cabinet, safeguards young children in your family, and prevents the drugs from polluting the earth and poisoning wildlife, which happens when drugs are flushed down the toilet or tossed into the garbage (landfill).
Do this as soon as you read this, so you don’t forget.
