Turn in your unused or expired medications for safe disposal at Magee Police Department, September 26, 2015 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.
Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poising, overdose, and abuse.
Pharmaceutical drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs when taken without a prescription or a doctor’s supervision.
The non-medical use of prescription drugs ranks second only to marjuana as the most common form of drug abuse in America.
Take- back programs are the best way to dispose of old drugs. but if a program is not available:
- Take the eds out of their bottles;
- Mix them with something unappealing like used kitty litter or coffee grounds;
- Seal them in a bag or disposable container, and throw that away.
