These envelopes are usually available at the Library and Senior Center. The National DEA Prescription Drug Take Back Day in April is cancelled.

In order to keep households safe while kids are at home, this is a good time to get old and expired prescription medications out of the house with a free, postage-paid mail back envelope. Place prescription drugs (up to 8 ounces total) in the envelope and drop it in the mail for easy and safe incineration.

Everyone can do their part with these important practices: Lock up meds in the home, Monitor medicine use, and Safely dispose of expired or unused medications. Talk to your kids about the dangers of taking a medication that wasn’t prescribed to them. All this prevents misuse, poisonings, and addiction.
