Safely dispose of medications tomorrow
Tomorrow’s the big day for the Drug Enforcement Agency’s National Take-Back Initiative for disposing of prescription drugs.
According to the DEA, abuse of prescription drugs among teens is rampant and the majority of those drugs come from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet. The DEA wants to make it easy for you to get that temptation out of the medicine cabinet, so they’ve arranged for take-back sites around the country where you can drop off unwanted and unused prescription drugs on April 30. Go to the Take-Back Initiative’s website to search for a collection site near you.
On the first Take-Back Day, last September, 121 tons of pills were collected. Wow.
How can you dispose of your medications the other 363 days a year? I blogged about safe drug disposal last month. If you miss tomorrow’s event, you can find more information in that blog post.
