If you google Prescription Drug drop off locations and then enter your state you will come up with several locations to take them to. If for some reason there aren't any local, you can use cat litter to place the prescription drugs in (out of the bottle) and shake it up and dispose of them in the trash. Prescription medications cannot be transferred from one individual to another and must be disposed of. I hope this helped and if you need further information please feel free to ask.

Recently we partnered with the city for a 3 day drug drop off, but were unable to enlist law enforcement, so we were unable to collect controlled substances. So, please send me your package; I would like to know all the ins and outs: staffing, cost, etc. Thanks! Happy New Year! Barb Hi Operation Medicine Cabinet,

I would like to learn more about your program; the steps to running a Prescription Take Back program.

Recently we partnered with the city for a 3 day drug drop off, but were unable to enlist law enforcement, so we were unable to collect controlled substances.

So, please send me your package; I would like to know all the ins and outs: staffing, cost, etc.

Thanks!

Happy New Year!

Barb
