Nationwide Prescription Drug Take-Back Day

Help us keep prescription drugs out of the hands of our youth and our water supplies!

The Falmouth Police Department and the Falmouth Prevention Partnership are participating in the fourth Nationwide Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, April 28, 2012. Turn in your unused or expired medication for safe disposal from 10am to 2pm at the Falmouth Recreation Center (Gus Canty) located at 790 Main Street.

Anonymous drop off- no paperwork necessary!

  

NEEDLES AND EPI PENS WILL BE ACCEPTED. All liquid medications must be in sealed bottles. Names for labels may be removed from bottles.

For more information, call the Falmouth Prevention Partnership at 508-540-2317 or visit the DEA website.

 

 

Proper Disposal of Prescription Drugs

Since the National Take Back Initiative happens only once a year, it is important for you to know how to safely dispose of your medications at other times. And remember:

• DO NOT give drugs to anyone else
• DO NOT flush drugs down the toilet
• DO NOT put drugs in the trash without disguising them; human or animal scavengers may find them and misuse them
