Think of all of the expired, unwanted prescriptions that randomly sit around each of our homes – in a drawer, on a bed stand or on top of the fridge – not to mention each of our medicine cabinets. It’s enough to actually make a difference, if each of us were to take them to a National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day drop-off location on 04/27.
