Dispose of unused prescriptions, medications and other drugs safely
Abril 24 its National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
In recognition of National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Abril 24, I am partnering with Gateway Health, Town Watch, the Philadelphia Police Department, Shop Rite of Parkside and the Parkside Association of Philadelphia to help you safely dispose of unused or expired prescription medications.
You can drop off the medications between 10 a.m. and noon outside of ShopRite of Parkside. The take back location will accept medications listed on the flyer above, so please make sure you are complying with the take back guidelines.
Keeping unused medications around your home is a public health and safety crisis. Officials say disposing of prescription drugs can help save lives, specifically preventing pediatric fatalities and opioid overdoses. Please take a few minutes to check your home for unused prescriptions and safely dispose of them Sábado.
