National Drug Take-Back Day

Lancaster, Ca.- Get your expired/unused Rx and OTC medicines out of your house and disposed of properly.

Timely disposal of prescription medicine can reduce the risk of others taking the medication accidentally or misusing the medication intentionally. The best and most environmentally-friendly way to dispose of your prescription medicine is through a drug take-back program.

You definitely do not want to dispose of unneeded or expired medications by pouring them down the drain, flushing them down the toilet, or tossing them into the trash. That's how chemicals wind up in soil, waterways, and groundwater. This applies to septic systems as well.

Candidates for disposal include any expired or unneeded prescription or over-the-counter medications (including vitamins, herbs, and other supplements).
