There is an opportunity to rid your home of left over medications this weekend at the Fairbanks and North Pole Police Departments.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - If left over, unused, or unwanted medication is taking up too much space in your medicine cabinet, there is an opportunity to rid your home of those unwanted medications this weekend.
Overdoses can happen to anyone regardless of age. From juveniles to elderly residents, misusing medications can have serious effects and sometimes result in death. Welborn explains, “So they can bring us pretty much anything. We are targeting those prescription medications that typically lead to overdoses but even over the counter medications can do the same in large quantities to get all of those disposed of if we can.”
