Free Drug Take Back – Tahoe City, CA Saturday, April 27, 2013

On Saturday, April 27, 2013, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. you’ll have the opportunity to drop off unused, unwanted, and/or expired medications at two locations in the Tahoe- Truckee area. Plan now to take advantage of the Free Drug Take Back day in Tahoe City and in Truckee, California. This is a great way to properly dispose of medications.

Most people think that by tossing their old, or unwanted medications down the toilet, or in the trash can the job is done.

The problem with these methods is they can damage the environment. Water treatment removes and reduces some types of pharmaceuticals, but it is not a complete removal, and low levels of medications can still be in the water.

Treated water is often used for irrigation and wildlife animals drink this water. Do you really want your medications in the water supply system that may be providing food on your table?

The best thing everyone can do to reduce environmental medication pollution is to take their old, unwanted, and unused medications to one of the take-back locations and have them dispose of it properly.
