Take Back Day Is This Saturday—Here’s Why It Matters

April 25th is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, a great chance to safely get rid of unused or expired medications. It’s quick, free, and anonymous—just drop them off at a local collection site like a pharmacy or police station.

Cleaning out your medicine cabinet helps prevent accidental misuse and keeps medications out of the wrong hands. It’s also better for the environment than tossing them in the trash or flushing them.  It only takes a few minutes, but it can make a real difference. 

If you’ve been meaning to clean out your medicine cabinet, this is the perfect opportunity. A small action—gathering up unused medications and dropping them off—can make a meaningful difference for your household and your community.
