Do you have expired or unused prescription or over the counter medication sitting around your house? Not sure how to get rid of them? Or where you can get rid of them at? Well then you’re going to want to check out this site.
On September 25th, they are sponsoring a National Take-Back Day all around the United States. To find out where they are collecting near you click the Find a Collection Site Near You link. Then either input your zip code, or your City and State, then choose the how many miles away you want it to search and click the Submit button. It will then give you a listing of locations that will be collecting your old/unused drugs.
The important things to know are that: this program is completely anonymous, and only solid dosage medications, tablets, capsules are being collection. They are not collecting intravenous solutions, injectables, or needles.
I know that I have plenty of cold medicine that was left over from various colds that I’ll be happy to turn in for safe disposal!
