Getting rid of expired medication

This Saturday, April 28th, from 10am to 2pm, is National Prescription Drug Take-Back day , where collection sites around the country will be collecting and safely disposing of EXPIRED OR UNUSED MEDICATIONS. This is our chance! You can find collection sites and more information through this link: http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/index.html (it looks like a few police stations, including the Mission and Ingleside Police Stations, are the sites in SF.). Please help keep old medications from contaminating groundwater by taking advantage of this opportunity for safe disposal! According to the Recology/ sunset scavenger web site several pharmacies will also accept your unwanted or expired ( non controlled) medications on an ongoing basis.. www.sunsetscavenger.com/hazardouswastemedications.html
