Hanging onto unwanted or expired prescription medicines and supplements puts your family at risk for accidental poisoning, and allows children and teens access to drugs that can be abused. Flushing these medications or disposing of them in household garbage sends harmful substances directly into our water supply and environment. The only safe option for disposal is to take unused medications to your local Take-Back center.
On National Prescription Take-Back Day, unwanted prescriptions are collected anonymously at no cost to you. So find a Take-Back location near you, by visiting the Take Back Your Meds website and take another step forward toward keeping your family safe!
