STE. GENEVIEVE, Mo. – The Community Services Forum will hold two Drive-Thru Drug Take Back Events Saturday from 9 a.m. till 12 p.m. at the Ste. Genevieve Firehouse and Bloomsdale Medical Centre.
Improper disposal of medication can lead to serious consequences such as accidental ingestion by children or pets, as well as environmental pollution by drugs seeping into water sources. To combat this problem, the Ste. Genevieve Community Services Forum hosts biannual free drive-thru Drug Take Back events to allow residents of the county to safely, conveniently, and anonymously dispose of any expired or unwanted prescription medications.
Prescription and over-the-counter medications are accepted in pill or liquid form. Pet medicines, EpiPens, and needles are also acceptable.
“We are excited to host this event, which provides a much-needed service to our community,” said Estrella Carmona, Secretary of the Community Services Forum. “The Drive-Thru Drug Take Back event is an important step towards promoting safe and responsible medication disposal.”
If you have any questions or inquiries about the event, please contact Estrella Carmona at (573) 883-3548.
