Get Rid of Your Old Meds!

The U.S. DEA is working with local police agencies to hold a medication take-back on Saturday, September 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is a great chance for you to get rid of old medications that are either expired or that you no longer need.

To find a disposal location near you:

• Visit the DEA’s take-back pagehttp://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/
• Visit www.Vermont211.org or call Vermont 2-1-1
• Visit the Vermont Department of Public Safety Drug Diversion Unit website at http://vsp.vermont.gov/drugdiversionor call (802) 241-5630

Getting rid of medications in a safe way helps keep them from:

• Poisoning children and animals
• Being used for abuse
• Getting into the water supply

If you are unable to bring in your old medications, visit www.nnepc.org for recommended disposal guidelines.
