Did you know that unused and unwanted medications are a potential source of supply for illegal use?
Unused and unwanted medications can be a danger to public safety and health, so President Obama's Safe and Secure Drug Disposal Act is now encouraging communities to start programs allowing people to safely dispose of old medications.
The Shelby County Drug Enforcement Task Force is sponsoring a Medication Take Back Day on Saturday, April 30, 2011. If you have any unused, expired or unwanted over-the-counter or prescription medications, you can bring them to one of the following drop off locations and they will dispose of them free of charge!
- Alabaster Target, 250 South Colonial Drive, Alabaster
- Greystone YMCA, 5212 Highway 280, Birmingham
