Want to safely dispose of those old, unused prescriptions?  This weekend will be the DEA Take Back Initiative where the following locations will be sites for dropping off unwanted prescription medicines.  The St Louis Metropolitan Police in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration will be sponsoring an unused medication turn in, on April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  The following locations were selected as drop off locations:
 
 
- Walgreens 3720 N. Kingshighway, 63115

Prescription drugs are frequently misused when they somehow become available to persons to whom they were not prescribed.  Ingesting old drugs likewise can be harmful to your health.  Flushing drugs can be harmful to our drinking water.  So, if you have been wondering what to do with those extra prescription drugs that are lying around, this weekend is your chance to conveniently dispose of them safely.  For further information see:  http://stlcop.edu/visitorscommunity/medicationdisposal.asp
