Prescription Drug Take-Back on October 28

Released: 10/25/2017

Keep your home safe by disposing of expired and unused prescriptions, over-the-counter medications and needles on Saturday, October 28, 2017, during National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.

Drop off medications between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital and DeGraff Memorial Hospital.

Disposing of medications in a proper way prevents people from pouring drugs down sinks or into toilets, contaminating the water system with the substances. It also removes the drugs from homes for illicit use.

Kaleida Health offers prescription drug drop-off days each fall and spring. Safely dispose of drugs at any time of the year at one of the Community Disposal Kiosk Sites in Erie County.
