National Prescription Medicine Take Back Day
May 2, 2011
The UAF Police Department is a drop-off point for the National Prescription Medicine Take Back Day event through
Monday, May 2. All throughout the weekend and on Monday, members of the community
may stop by to drop off expired or unused prescription medication. There are only
a few criteria:
- Prescription and over-the-counter solid dosage medications will be accepted.
- Intra-venous solutions, injectibles, syringes or medical waste WILL NOT be accepted.
- Participants are encouraged to remove any identifying information from the prescription container by either removing the label, or using a permanent marker to black out personal information.
The box will remain available until the close of business on Monday, May 2.
