Safe Medication Disposal
If you still have your Sunday Post, check out the last page of the PARADE supplement (see article link above). The Neighborhood Pharmacy is listed on the Dispose My Meds site mentioned and we welcome you to come by anytime to safely dispose of your medications.
As we blogged on earlier this year, recent U.S. Geological Survey studies have found that pharmaceuticals have contaminated the water supply of 41 million Americans. Add to this the rising abuse of prescription drugs in teens, and the need for safe medication disposal becomes necessary.
That is why we welcome all in the community to come and talk to our pharmacists about their prescriptions and how to store, use and dispose of them properly. Leftover, unused and expired medications from any pharmacy can be dropped off at the Neighborhood Pharmacy and we’ll dispose of them for free, to be safely incinerated at a waste-to-energy facility.
So the next time you’re cleaning out your medicine cabinets (or if you’ve already done so and didn’t know what to do with the unwanted contents), bring those drugs to the Neighborhood Pharmacy so that together we can help keep our community and environment safe.
