According to the
Associated Press and other sources, millions of pounds of unused
pharmaceuticals are flushed down the drains in America annually.These drugs can go
untreated in the local municipal wastewater treatment plants and be
discharged into our lakes and streams, potentially ending up in our
drinking water.
Please help our
community and our environment by properly disposing of all unused
medication. The city of Ludington’s Police Department has begun a
“Prescription Medication Collection Program” whereby area residents can
bring their unused, expired and unneeded prescription medication to the
department for free disposal.
To find out more
information concerning the City’s prescription medication collection
program contact the Ludington Police Department at 231-843-3425.
