Got Drugs? National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is tomorrow
Through a collaborative effort with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the public will have an opportunity to safely dispose of their expired, unused and unwanted medications tomorrow at collection sites statewide from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The service is free and anonymous and you can find a local site HERE.
Drug Take-Back Day addresses a vital public health and safety issue. Other methods of discarding unused medicines, such as flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash pose potential health and safety hazards to our waterways.
A coalition of groups is working across the state to ensure that we carefully dispose of unused medicines. For more information visit www.safedrugdisposalnw.org.
