If unused or expired medications sit around for too long, they deplete and can pose risks to people. While this certainly applies to veterans, it also affects the general public. It’s important to properly dispose of unused drugs by taking them to a designated drop-off location. This helps prevent accidental ingestion by children, confusion from misreading labels, or misuse for other purposes. The drug crisis remains a serious issue, and safe disposal is one small but meaningful way to help address it.
I received an email on this topic from one of our local veterans’ organizations and was asked to share it. I’m posting it here and in a few other places to help spread awareness.
You can visit the State of Michigan’s website to find locations where you can safely dispose of unused household medications. It appears Meijers, Walgreens, St. Francis Hospital, Escanaba Public Safety and Michigan State Police will take them. Better to be safe then sorry so get rid of them.
