*find a location statewide at the above link, or the one below.
"The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications."
On my local end, with more info:

"DENVER -- National Prescription Take-Back Day is this Saturday, Oct. 22, and the Denver Police Department is participating this year by accepting prescription drugs at several different locations this weekend.
The drop-off is meant for residents to get rid of their prescription medications in a way that is both environmentally safe and reduces the risk of drug misuse or abuse, but take note: The drop-off sites will not accept needles or sharps, mercury thermometers, oxygen containers, chemotherapy or radioactive substances, illicit drugs or pressurized canisters."
* This is incredible timing for me because I was juuuust thinking about some old meds I didn't want to flush and contiminate the water supply with (they say water has all kinds of drugs in them because of this, birth control, chemo...); I also didn't want to put them in the trash in case birds, etc. ate them...So, I'll be dropping mine off in just a bit...if you're going to do it, hurry though because you only have til 2pm today.
