Drug Take Back Day & Info Fair
Keck Graduate Institute

It’s a great time to clean out your medicine cabinet!
 
Protect our kids, pets, families, and environment by properly disposing of your unwanted and expired medicines. Medicines in the home are a leading cause of accidental poisoning. Flushed or trashed medicines can end up polluting our waters. Rates of prescription drug abuse are alarmingly high—over half of teens abusing medicines get them from a family member or friend, including the home medicine cabinet, and often without their knowledge.
 
Accepted items: Expired or unwanted solid or liquid prescription or over-the-counter medications, controlled and non-controlled medications, inhalers (aerosol inhalers, dry powder inhalers), and sharps (syringes, used pens, lancets). Items we can’t accept: illicit drugs, mercury thermometers.
