National Prescription Drug Take-Back DaySaturday, September 26 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Legacy Hills Park PavilionSubmitted by Chick Gladwin Start cleaning out your medicine cabinet in preparation for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, a time when you can dispose of unwanted and expired medications properly at the Legacy Hills Park Pavilion. There will be no need to get out of your vehicle, just hand your items to a volunteer in the parking lot.
It is not necessary to keep your medications in their original containers. A plastic zip bag for pills is acceptable.
Items that WILL be accepted (from you, a family member or pet): Expired or unwanted prescription medications, unneeded over-the-counter medicines, unknown tablets and capsules, and controlled medications such as narcotics or stimulants. Examples of medications include items that manage diabetes, blood pressure or high cholesterol.
Items that WILL NOT be accepted: Sharps/needles, thermometers, IV bags, personal care products and medical equipment. (Please note a policy change: The DEA is no longer accepting sharps/needles.)
This is your opportunity to dispose of prescription drugs in a safe manner that does not harm the local water supply or environment in any way. For more information call 1-800-882-9539 or click below.
