Summary Sentence:
Safety Day Drug Take Back!
Full Summary:
Turn in those unused or expired medications so that they can be disposed of safely!
Pharmacy Medication Take BackStamps Health Services and Georgia Tech Pharmacy will help students, faculty, and staff dispose of their unused or expired medications safely. Keeping our water free from chemicals is one way to help ensure the health and safety of our water sources. Research has shown that pharmaceuticals—including prescription drugs—are present in our nation’s water and may cause environmental harm. Although there is no current evidence that these pharmaceuticals in the environment are responsible for any negative health effects in humans, keeping our water clean is an important public health goal. So, if you have unused or expired medications or if you have questions about the Georgia Tech Pharmacy, drop by and see us on September 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or come by the Georgia Tech Pharmacy located in Stamps Health Services anytime.
