The University of Toledo Police Department is hosting two of several Drug Take Back Day events in Lucas County on Saturday, Oct. 28, with students from the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The “drive-up and drop-off” events provide the Toledo-area community a free and anonymous way to rid their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs, and are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center, 1325 Conference Drive on UToledo’s Health Science Campus, and Rocket Hall, 1625 W. Rocket Drive on Main Campus.
Expired or unused medications that will be accepted include:
• Narcotics;
• Over-the-counter medications;
• Pet medications;
• Prescriptions; and
• Vitamins.
The collection site will not accept syringes, inhalers, liquid medications, ointments or lotions.
The University of Toledo Medical Center also has a drop box for unwanted medications at the emergency room entrance that is accessible 24 hours a day.
