LifeinCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back
Safety First
We all have rummaged through our medicine cabinets. We may find that we have a few bottles of expired or unused prescription drugs. Many people choose to flush the pills down the toilet, pour in the drain, throw them in the garbage, or worse. This can lead to damaging our environment, drug diversion, or even drug abuse by others.
Did You Know…
Every 7 minutes, an American dies from an overdose.
– 51% of prescription pain relievers are given by, bought from, or taken from a friend or relative resulting in misuse.
– 18 million people in the U.S. over the age of twelve have misused medications at least once in the past year.
– 46 million Americans are exposed to trace amounts of narcotics in their drinking water.
How to Help…
To assist in reducing these issues and bringing awareness to the massive opioid crisis that is plaguing many families, the LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back ™ program. Their program provides consumers with a safe option to discard their unused or outdated prescription medications in secure kiosks located across the US.
I headed over to my local Safeway to safely dispose of them in their LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back ™ kiosk. National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is on April 22nd 2023. It doesn’t mean other days of the year are not as important.
LifeInCheck Consumer Drug Take-Back ™ has created this tool to help you safely dispose of unused or expired medications. Enter your zip code online and get a list of safe drug take-back kiosks in your area. You can help diminish the risk of drug abuse and help protect the environment.
To be a responsible citizen of your community, city, state, and country, is to keep safety and well-being in mind. I encourage you to visit your local kiosk. Share your experience with me, friends!
