Take It To The Box
What is Take It To The Box?
The Take It To The Box program is a permanent medication and drug disposal program which accepts unwanted, unneeded, and expired over-the-counter and prescription medications.
Why Do We Need It?
2/3 of teens who misuse prescription drugs get them from their parent’s medicine cabinet. Use proper storage and disposal, to help prevent abuse. It is NOT SAFE for the environment to throw away or flush medications. Proper disposal reduces the availability of medications to those who may abuse them and helps protect our soil and water.
