Prescription Drug Take-Back Program
You can help save a life in Lehigh County. Each year millions of Americans misuse prescription pain killers and sedatives with many lives tragically cut short by overdose. Most misused prescriptions are obtained from family and friends. Flushing medications or throwing them in the trash can result in them leeching into the water supply, but you can safely dispose of unused prescriptions. It’s as easy as taking your unused prescriptions to one of the safe disposal locations throughout the county.
