Saturday, May 9 is National Prescription Drug Drop-off Day and London Drugs is encouraging residents to drop off their unused and expired prescription drugs and overthe-counter medications at any location - including Trenant Park Square in Ladner — on Saturday or any other day.
Pharmacists have long recognized the importance of properly disposing of medications, needles and other medicine-related supplies. There are programs in place at London Drugs to cut down on environmental waste through the safe recycling of medication-related materials.
Once dropped off, expired or unused medications are safely incinerated, preventing them from entering landfills, sewers and the environment.
Residents dropping off medications are asked to remove the drugs from the packing and place them in a clear plastic bag, and recycle the packaging appropriately. Medications in blister packs, or creams or liquids, can also be included. Be sure to remove any personal identification from the packaging.
