Safe Medication Storage Lockboxes

Project Overview

As a part of Green Peak Alliance’s prescription drug Safe Use, Safe Storage, Safe Disposal educational campaign, The Collaborative and Greater Falls Connections teamed up with Senior Solutions and Falls Area Community TV to produce a public service announcement video. The importance of safe storage of medication is often overlooked and there is a need to safely storage medications at home or while traveling. The Collaborative purchased storage boxes and offered them to Bennington County residents as an easy option to protect and store prescription medications. The boxes were a thick plastic with an adjustable combination lock and is just one of many options available for easy and safe storage of prescription medications.
