Medication Collection Day 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM Variety of Locations in Midcoast Maine

Did you know that medicines in the home are a leading cause of accidental poisoning? Just as disturbing, are the alarmingly high rates of prescription drug abuse among teens. A national study conducted last year found that 49% of teens who misuse or abuse prescription medicines get them from a family member or friend, often from medicine cabinets within easy reach.

Sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Drug Take-Back Day is a free community event where citizens can turn in medications easily and anonymously. At the last Take-Back Day in April 2014, Maine citizens turned more than 27,000 pounds of expired and unwanted medications for safe and proper disposal at take-back sites throughout the state

This fall's Prescription Take-Back Day will be held on Saturday, September 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m at the following sites:

Bath Police Department, 250 Water Street
Brunswick Police Department, 85 Pleasant Street
Harpswell Town Office, 263 Mountain Road
Richmond Police Department, 26 Gardiner Street
Topsham Public Safety Building, 100 Main Street

Go to www.accesshealth.com/casa for information on locations and permanent drug disposal options within your community.
