Join us for a medication take-back event hosted by the College of Pharmacy! Community members will be able to dispose of unused or expired medications and used sharps (needles, syringes, and lancets). Proper disposal helps protect the environment, reduce accidental poisoning, and prevent misuse of prescription drugs.

When: 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm

Where: Outside Gate 1

THANK YOU to our partners for helping to make medication take-back happen: DPSS and Environmental Health & Safety.
