Safely dispose of prescription drugs on Saturday
Residents can safely dispose of expired, unused, and
unwanted prescription drugs on Drug Take Back Day,
Saturday, April 29.
Community members can bring pills for disposal to Market
Street, 5605 Colleyville Blvd, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) can only
accept pills or patches. The service is free and anonymous,
no questions asked.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public
health issue. Medicines that languish in homes are highly
susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of
prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as
are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due
to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused
prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends,
including from the home medicine cabinet. Americans are
now advised that their usual methods for disposing of
unused medicines-flushing them down the toilet or
throwing them in the trash-both pose potential safety and
health hazards.
