Time to Clean Out Your Home Medicine Cabinet

 


Start your spring cleaning with the home medicine cabinet...this Saturday, April 27 is your opportunity to dispose of unwanted or expired medication at the Drug Enforcement Administration's Spring Prescription Drug Take Back Day!

Unneeded medications stored in home medicine cabinets can become a public safety issue and wind up in the wrong hands, too often becoming a gateway to addiction. InnerAct Alliance, StandUP Polk, and our law enforcement partners in Polk County invite you to help make our community safer by turning in expired or unwanted Human and Pet Medication💊 at our community's DEA Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday from 10am to 2pm at participating police department locations:


Previous medication collections in Polk since 2010 have resulted in approximately 28,547 pounds of recovered pharmaceuticals safely disposed of via incineration. We urge parents to lock the home medicine cabinet to keep all medication out of reach of children and teens. 

See you on Saturday from 10am to 2pm!👋
