BROCKTON – Spring is here and it is time for residents to clean out their homes of unused or expired medications at the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz has announced.
Tomorrow, April 26, the Drug Enforcement Administration will host DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day and locations across the country. The Plymouth County Prescription Medication Disposal Program has provided drop boxes throughout Plymouth County. In addition to police stations in every community in Plymouth County, safe disposal receptacles can also be found in the campus police stations at Bridgewater State College, Massasoit Community College and Stonehill College.
「私たちは皆、この過剰摂取の危機を救うために自分の役割を果たすことができ、全国処方薬回収デーに参加することは、自分自身を積極的に守る方法なのです。「未使用の薬や期限切れの薬を処分する時間を取ることは、家庭内での薬物窃盗や乱用のリスクをなくすことを意味します。これは小さなことですが、違法薬物を路上や近隣から排除するための重要な一歩です」。
Unsecured medication can be misused or end up in the drinking water. People can safely dispose of tablets, capsules, patches and other solid forms of prescription drugs.
Residents are asked to check their homes for prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, veterinary medications and nutritional supplements that are no longer needed or expired and bring those items to their local police station.
At the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day in April, 2024, it is estimated that 335 tons of drugs were collected at 4,869 sites around the country.
