Saturday, April 30, marks the 21st annual National Drug Take Back Day, hosted by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
A press release said, “As this day approaches, Tops Friendly Markets would like to remind the community that all 50 of its pharmacy locations are approved drop-off locations for prescription drugs. Working alongside the Department of Environmental Conservation, shoppers will find clearly designated disposal bins located in the Tops pharmacy department where they can dispose of their unused and unwanted medications.”
“Every year, Tops is pleased to be a part of the annual National Drug Take Back Day events in the communities we serve,” said Matthew Hamed, director of pharmacy operations for Tops Friendly Markets. “We want to help be a part of the solution and are pleased to help not only on April 30, but year-round. Proper disposal of unused, unwanted and/or expired prescription medications helps not only protect our environment, but more importantly saves lives.”
The last National Drug Take Back day, hosted in October 2021, saw more than 744,082 pounds (372 tons) of medication recovered. Tops said, “Since the program’s inception in 2010, 15.2 million pounds of medication across the U.S. have been properly disposed of.
“Returning prescription drugs at any one of the 50 Tops Friendly Markets locations can be done safely and anonymously year-round during normal pharmacy hours at the following locations”:
