Get rid of your prescription drugs and sharps properly!
Safe disposal can:
- Prevent the accidental or intentional misuse of unwanted medications
- Prevent negative and toxic effects on our environment
- Protect other from contracting diseases and other adverse effects of needle sticks
Whenever we busy people find time to clean out our homes, it's a good idea to check the medicine chest for expired medication. But where can you dispose of it?
