Delaware will be taking part in this national campaign by holding a state-wide medicine drop off. A medicine drop off is a recycling effort that encourages consumers to dispose of old medications safely, rather than flush them or toss them in the garbage, where they could eventually make their way into the water system. Tap water has been found to be full of trace amounts of common drugs, and the idea is to curb this trend.
The event will last from 10am-2pm on Saturday, at 29 drop-off locations throughout the state. For info on locations:
