Every time I see this, I can't help but wish there was a way to donate that to

people who need it.

I know not really possible, but just a shame to see it go in the garbage when

folks can't afford there meds.

off my soapbox now. lol

Lori -

NO ONE will take drugs that have been dispensed to the public - the potential

for tampering is too high.

The Drug Take-Back day is to give people a safe way to dispose of unused drugs.

They should never be put down the toilet or thrown in the trash because they

pollute the water system.

Anything the accepted would have to be packaged from the

manufacture for safety.
