Quick! Get Rid of Your Drugs!
Now that we've caught your attention, folks need to know about an important upcoming community event in the city of Lowell.
Thursday, October 15th is Unwanted Medication Disposal Day at the Lowell Health Department, an important community health initiative that MCC is helping to partner. It's time to clean out your medicine cabinets and drawers of all of your old, unused prescription drugs. The end goal here is to help keep potentially dangerous medicines from getting into the hands of curious youngsters.
The drop-off is available to anyone who lives, works, or goes to school in Lowell, and that includes our MCC population.
The disposal is free and safe, with no questions asked. Additionally, the Health Department's method of disposal avoids flushing old medicines, which could prove harmful to our rivers. The event will be held at the Lowell Health Department at 341 Pine St., Lowell on Thursday, October 15th from 8 a.m. to noon. For more info, contact Maria Ruggiero at the Lowell Health Department, 978-970-4010.
