Saturday is TakeBack Day

GOT DRUGS? Saturday, September 25, 2010 is National Take-Back Day where you can turn in your unused or expired medications for safe disposal. Learn more (and to find your drop off site) at the Take Back Day website.

It’s not OK to hold on to those percocet pills you got years ago when you had your wisdom teeth pulled (or whatever example you want to use) just in case you may need them someday. It’s not safe. Drugs (even legally prescribed) laying around can be stolen, abused, mis-used (think kids going through the medicine cabinet looking for some fun on Saturday night when you are out).

I’ve been cleaning out the medicine cabinet(s) at my house and will take a bag full of medications to my local take-back collection site. I hope you do too!
