Outreach and Education

Part of MED-Project's mission is to reach out to the local community and educate residents about the proper disposal of unwanted household medication and sharps.

Medicine helps treat disease, manage chronic conditions, and improve health and well-being for millions of Americans.

Take medication as directed by your health care provider and as indicated on the label or packaging, then store it securely, and dispose of it safely, to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse by others, including children and pets. Always be sure to store sharps securely to prevent accidental sticks or misuse by others, and dispose of sharps safely.

MED-Project’s disposal services for your unwanted household medication or sharps are safe, convenient, and free.
