Spring weather will finally arrive this weekend, which makes it a great time to do some spring cleaning. Grab your expired medication and get it destroyed for free. Old medicine should not be thrown in the trash because it can contaminate our drinking water and environment. That’s why the Drug Enforcement Administration is teaming up with law enforcement agencies across the country to help you properly dispose of your old medicine.
In the last five years, the program has discarded over 2 million pounds of expired or unwanted medication. This helps the environment and also the community. Pill popping is becoming a problem in many parts of the country. Thieves have even broken into homes where they know there are pain medications stored. That’s why it’s important to get rid of old medication the proper way.
The event will happen across the country this Saturday, April 27 from 10 AM until 2 PM. Click here to find a location near your home.
