Solid-dosage pharmaceuticals and liquids in consumer containers will be accepted, but intravenous solutions, injectables, and syringes are not due to potential hazards.
The event provides an opportunity for individuals to safely dispose of unused prescription drugs, helping to prevent misuse and environmental contamination.
Participants are encouraged to remove any identifying information from prescription labels if submitting medication in its original container.
Liquid products should remain sealed in their original containers, with caps tightly secured to prevent leakage.
