The year’s first of two National Prescription Drug Take Back Days is on Saturday, April 25, and Meijer pharmacists are prepared for an influx of customers to come in and dispose of their unwanted, unused, and expired medications.
Meijer first participated in the national program in February 2019 and has since collected more than 300 tons of unneeded medications in easily identifiable kiosks near each of its in-store pharmacies.
At Meijer, every day is drug take back day. Customers can access the kiosks year-round for disposal of over the counter and prescription medications, including controlled substances, during normal pharmacy hours, no questions asked. Items not accepted as part of the program include needles or other sharps, inhalers, mercury thermometers, medications that contain iodine, and illicit drugs. Assistance is available, if needed.
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs. The retailer is encouraging its customers to take advantage of the program.
