UMBC Prescription Drug Take Back
Dispose of your unwanted prescription drugs safely
Saturday, September 29, 2012 · 10 AM - 4 PM
More than 7 million Americans currently
abuse prescription drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription
drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine
cabinet.
UMBC is hosting a drug take back on
Saturday, Sept. 29th from 8am-4pm at the UMBC Campus Police Station to
provide a venue for persons who want to safely dispose of unwanted, expired or
unused prescription drugs.
If you would like to
find a drop-off location closer to your place of residence, visit the Drug
Enforcement Agency’s website at:http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/index.html.

Arora for more information about this initiative at parora@umbc.edu or (410) 455-3752.
