Columbia/Adair Co. offices to hold Medication Take Back Unneeded or Expired Medications can be safely disposed of on Saturday, October 29, 2011 By Rick Wilson The Medication Take Back program, under the guidelines with the DEAs National Take Back Initiative will be offered 10am-2pmCT, Saturday, October 29, 2011 on the lawn of Taco Bell, 899 Jamestown Street, Collumbia, KY. We will accept all solid dosage forms of medicines except liquids, injectibles, syringes or inhalers. Questions may be directed to 270-378-1490. Several Adair County agencies are teaming up to offer the program again this year to dispose of unneeded or expired medications: The Adair County Judges Office, The Adair County Solid Waste Management Program, The Adair County Sheriffs Office, Columbia City Police Department and The Adair County Jail. Figuring out a safe and legal way to dispose of unused or expired medications can be difficult, but help is available. Prescription medication abuse is becoming a more frequent problem. We hope to prevent misuse or abuse if we can get medicines disposed of that are not currently being used.Disposing of medications by throwing in the trash or flushing is not the recommended practice because studies have found that drugs can kill helpful bacteria in septic systems and waterways. Scientist are also finding traces of medications in streams, rivers and lakes. - RICK WILSON This story was posted on 2011-10-19 20:36:40
