Don’t throw away your old prescription drugs, get rid of them safely!

This Saturday, the Drug Enforcement Administration encourages everyone to hand over their unused and unwanted prescriptions during National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.

The Community Partnership of the Ozarks has three sites set up in Springfield. GO HERE  To find a collection site close to you

The “take back” drugs include tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs. More than 200 local law enforcement agencies have registered to participate in Take Back Day.

Collection sites will not accept syringes, sharps, or illicit drugs. Liquid products like cough syrup should remain sealed in original containers, with a tightly sealed cap to prevent leakage.
