On the previous 14 take back day events combined, there has been a total of over that 9 million pounds of pills turned in. This initiative helps address the public safety and health issue of the Opioid epidemic. Research shows that the majority of misused and abused prescription drugs are obtained by family and friends whether stolen or given, so lets do our part to not be the dealers and get them out of the house! It is advised to not flush or throw medications in the trash, this poses a potential safety and health concern.
