Drug Disposal & Safety
Keep Your Family Safe: Dispose of Medications the Right Way
Did you know that keeping unused or expired medications at home can be dangerous? It can lead to misuse, accidental poisonings, and even harm to our environment. Let’s work together to keep our community safe by properly disposing of unwanted medications.
Why Proper Disposal Matters
- Prevents Misuse: Unused medications can be dangerous, especially to kids or anyone who might misuse them.
- Protects the Environment: Safe disposal keeps our water and soil clean.
- Keeps Kids & Pets Safe: Medications can harm children and pets, so it’s important to keep them out of reach.

Make sure to lock up your medications at home, especially prescription drugs, to keep them safe from misuse.
