STE. GENEVIEVE, Mo. – The Community Services Forum is excited to announce its upcoming Drive-Thru Drug Take Back Event, which will take place on Saturday, April 26, from 9 am till 12 pm. The event will be held at two convenient locations: Ste. Genevieve Firehouse and Bloomsdale Family Health Clinic.
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 Happy Welch of the Ste. Genevieve Community Services Forum. “The Drive-Thru Drug Take Back event is an important step towards promoting safe and responsible medication disposal. Last year over 25 pounds was collected.”
If you have any questions or inquiries about the event, please contact Happy Welch at (573) 883-5400.
