A Drug Take-Back Event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, October 25 at the west corner in the rear parking lot of the Municipal Center, 2525 Rochester Road. The event offers safe disposal of unused, unwanted, or expired medications.
Here are a few tips for the disposal of medications:
- Dispose of medications in the original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box.
- Remove any identifying information if disposing in the original container.
- Remove batteries from e-cigarette devices and vape pens. If they cannot be removed, check with chain stores which may accept them for proper disposal.
- Liquid products like cough syrup should remain sealed in their original container. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed.
- Intravenous solutions, injectables, and syringes will NOT be accepted due to the potential hazards posed by blood-borne pathogens.
