A very important event to have, since people might end up taking something that they shouldn't take and could be negatively effected.

Roy ...This is a great program! Keeps a lot of these unwanted and unused drugs out of the hands of those who don't need them!

Have a great day!

Hi Roy -- so many people do not realize that you can't simply toss old prescriptions in the trash, proper disposal is important for many reasons.  Good post.
