Safe Medication Disposal Helps Protect Your Family.

Did you know that keeping unused medications at home can increase the risk of misuse, theft, or accidental poisoning? More than 100,000 Americans lose their lives each year to drug poisoning or overdose.

Here is why safe disposal matters:
• Unused medications left in medicine cabinets are vulnerable to misuse and theft
• Proper disposal helps reduce accidental poisonings in homes and communities
• This simple action can help save lives and protect those you care about

Dropping off your unneeded medications helps prevent drug misuse and addiction. Make safe disposal part of your routine and be a lifesaver in your community.

Here's a link to find a safe medication disposal location:
