A medication take-back event is scheduled in Bristow at the water department parking lot on Friday, November 18th, 2022, from 10 AM to 2 PM in partnership with the Bristow Police Department, Creek County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, and Oklahoma State Department of Wellness Programs.
With holiday gatherings coming up fast, it's a great time to look through your medicine cabinets and dispose of unused or expired medications. According to the CDC, you should dispose of unused or expired prescription medicine as soon as possible. Timely disposal of prescription medicine can reduce the risk of others taking the medication accidentally or misusing the medication intentionally. One of best and most environmentally friendly ways to dispose of your prescription medicine is through a take-back event.
