Project Overview
While National Prescription Drug Take Back Day falls in October and again in April, people can safely dispose of unused prescription drugs any day of the year! Safely storing and disposing of your prescription medications helps keep family, friends, kids and pets in your home safe from accidental or purposeful ingestion. Let the people you serve know how and where they can turn in unneeded medication in their area. Search for year-round drop-off locations near you at bit.ly/3AHVEca, and add your local locations to your posts. Individuals can also request a mail-back envelope for free at bit.ly/rx-mail.
