One more quick reminder that tomorrow - Saturday, April 25 - is the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, offering an opportunity for citizens to safely dispose of unneeded pet or human medication. Bring your meds in a clear plastic bag to the participating Drive-Thru Drop-Off locations in Lakeland and Polk County listed below from 10AM to 2PM. 💊
Why Does This Matter? - Studies show that medications stored in home medicine cabinets is highly susceptible to abuse. Discarding medication by flushing or throwing it in the trash also creates potential health hazards.
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day provides a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the public about the potential for abuse.
What Can We Bring? - Clean out your home medicine cabinet for any unneeded Human and Pet medications including over-the-counter medications, medications in liquid and solid forms, vaping pens, and e-cigarette devices (with batteries removed).
Together we can keep our community safe
and prevent substance abuse before it starts!
