TakeAway Environmental Return System

A unique method for disposal of unused patient medications. You just fill it, seal it, and return via USPS or drop off at a nearby Post Office.

We carry the 11" x 8" envelopes in the pharmacy for $3.99 per "No Postage Necessary" envelope. Ask a pharmacy representative for more details or click here to visit the TakeAway website.

National Drug Take-Back Days

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been coordinating National Drug Take-Back Days for a few years. According to the DEA, over 3.5 million pounds of prescription medications have been removed out of circulation in their six Take-Back events, including their latest one held in April 2013. State, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies partner with the DEA to make this a successful event.

For more information about these events, please click here to visit the National Take-Back Initiative webpage.
