PRESCRIPTION DRUGS HELP THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON A DAILY BASIS AND ARE FOUND IN ALMOST EVERY HOUSEHOLD. WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ON HAND, MANY PEOPLE ARE UNSURE WHAT TO DO IF THEIR MEDICATIONS BECOME EXPIRED OR ARE UNUSED. THESE DRUGS CAN ALSO FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS AND BE USED FOR THE WRONG PURPOSE.

YOU CAN SAFELY AND EASILY DISPOSE OF YOUR UNSED AND EXPIRED PRESCRIPTIONS, OR OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS, AT THE ‘DUMP THE DRUGS’ EVENT, IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE-BACK CAMPAIGN.

MEDICATIONS FLUSHED DOWN YOUR TOILET CAN END UP IN OUR LAKES, RIVERS, AND GROUNDWATER. TAKE TIME TO CLEAN OUT YOUR MEDICINE CABINET, THEN BRING YOUR EXPIRED OR UNUSED MEDICATION FOR PROPER DISPOSAL TO THE ‘DUMP THE DRUGS’ EVENT, SATURDAY, APRIL 22ND FROM 10 A.M. TO 2 P.M. AT THE PRESCOTT POLICE DEPARTMENT AT 222 S MARINA STREET IN PRESCOTT.
