National Prescription Drug Take-back Day

Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center will accept and dispose of unused, expired and unwanted medicines, no questions asked, at a drive-through to collect tablets, capsules, liquids, creams, e-cigarettes, vape pens and needles for safe, secure, environmentally friendly disposal.

The event is part of National Prescription Drug Take-back Day. Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center will join organizations throughout the U.S. to prevent the misuse of prescription medications, many of which continue to supply the nation’s opioid epidemic. Disposing of unused, expired and unwanted drugs means they’ll no longer pose a danger to anyone in the home or on the street.
