Our friends at the The Florida Rural Water Association are requesting everyone’s assistance in helping promote the 10th Annual National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. There are many locations in the State of Florida participating in this event, being held Saturday, September 26, 2015 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.
This program is an important part of the national effort to keep drugs away from places they don’t belong, particularly out of the public water supply.
It is important that everybody knows the importance of proper disposal of unwanted/unused medications. DO NOT FLUSH!
As professionals in the wastewater management industry, we are all uniquely positioned to help educate the public about this increasing danger to our water supply. Please help us spread the word!
Feel free to repost this information on your own blog and social media channels. Below are two links for you to share more information about this important program:
