Tennessee Agencies Urge Safe Medication Disposal on Takeback Day
Original: TDMHSAS and TDEC Encourage Safe Medication Disposal During National Prescription Drug Takeback Day
The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation are urging residents to dispose of unused prescription medications safely as part of National Prescription Drug Takeback Day. The event gives the public a chance to drop off old medicines at designated sites, reducing risks of misuse, accidental poisoning and environmental contamination from drugs thrown in trash or flushed down drains.
Why now: National Prescription Drug Takeback Day is taking place, prompting state agencies to promote safe disposal locations.
