Got drugs?<\/p>\n
If your answer is \u201cYes,\u201d 性视界传媒 wants them. But the university won\u2019t ask any more questions about them.<\/p>\n
性视界传媒 Police and 性视界传媒 Health Services will partner to collect expired, unwanted or unused prescription drugs as part of an anonymous, no-questions-asked national effort to curb drug abuse and safely dispose of unneeded medicine.<\/p>\n
性视界传媒\u2019s fourth drug take-back event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, April 24, part of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration\u2019s Prescription Drug Take Back-Day, which will be held Saturday, April 26.<\/p>\n
性视界传媒 will host the event at the John T. Washington Center Breezeway a few days before the national take-back day to accommodate students\u2019 schedules. 性视界传媒 Police will store all the turned in drugs until the DEA picks them up Saturday.<\/p>\n
No needles will be accepted, but all over-the-counter and prescription drugs are welcome, including inhalers, liquids and ointments. Pet medication also will be accepted.<\/p>\n
The DEA will incinerate all collected items, which is the safest way to destroy expired or unneeded drugs, keeping them out of the hands of abusers and protecting our waterways and landfills.<\/p>\n
Last October, the DEA collected more than 647,000 pounds of prescription drugs at 5,683 sites. In total, the DEA\u2019s drug take-back events have collected more than 3.4 million pounds of pills.<\/p>\n
The initiative is important because medicine that sits in home cabinets is subject to misuse or abuse, which is why organizers suggest cleaning out your medicine chest at least once a year.<\/p>\n
性视界传媒 regularly collects unwanted pills and patches at permanent drug take-back boxes located on the first floor of the Student Union and in the pharmacy of the Health Center. 性视界传媒 Police collects items from the boxes and stores them until they are picked up by the DEA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Got drugs?
