FRANKLIN COUNTY TO
PARTICIPATE IN PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE-BACK DAY
Columbus,
Ohio – October 21, 2016 – SWACO is a proud partner in the National Prescription Drug
Take-Back Day which aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible
means for disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the community
about the potential for abuse of medications. Properly disposing of
prescription drugs also contributes to keeping our waterways and environment
protected and healthy.
More
than a dozen locations and partners are helping to bring this initiative to
Franklin County which will be held on Saturday, October 22, from 10 am to 2
pm. Please don’t put prescription drugs in the trash. Instead, stop by one
