Energize and Organize:  National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is October 23, 2021

10/18/2021

 
Picture
When organizing your medicine cabinet or box, have you discovered expired or unused prescriptions?  You can dispose of them responsibly by bundling them up and  bringing them to the Falmouth Police Department at 750 Main Street between 10 AM - 2 PM on  October 23!

The service is free and all pills will be accepted.  Liquids, needles and sharps will not be accepted at the event.



If you are unable to attend the event on October 23, the EPA recommends the following second choice for household disposal of medicines.
  • Take your prescription drugs out of their original containers.
  • Mix drugs with an undesirable substance, such as cat litter or used coffee grounds.
  • Put the mixture into a disposable container with a lid, such as an empty margarine tub, or in a sealable bag.
  • Conceal or remove any personal information, including Rx number, on the empty containers by covering it with permanent marker or duct tape, or by scratching it off.The sealed container with the drug mixture, and the empty drug containers, can now be placed in the trash.

How Proper Disposal of Medicines Protects You and the Earth 
Source:  EPA
  • Prevents poisoning of children and pets
  • Deters misuse by teenagers and adults
  • Avoids health problems from accidentally taking the wrong medicine, too much of the same medicine, or a medicine that is too old to work well
  • Keeps medicines from entering streams and rivers when poured down the drain or flushed down the toilet

Let's all do our part to keep the Falmouth community safe and well!

​Remember if you need assistance and support with your family life, home and/or office, you are cordially invited to contact ...
