Take-Back Events
Local take-back events offer residents a safe, free, and convenient way to dispose of expired or unwanted household medication. The local authorities and MED-Project may also sponsor local drug take-back events in your area.
To protect your privacy, patients are reminded to remove all personally identifiable information on medication labels or packaging before disposing of unwanted medicine.
Calendar of Take-Back Events
