Where Can I Dispose of Old Prescriptions & Medicine?

Do you have old prescriptions that expired or you no longer use?

The DEA announced National Prescription Drug take-back day this upcoming weekend for Pennsylvania.

  • Date: Saturday September 12, 2015
  • Time: 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

I found out the closest one to me was Place Fire Department engine 60 / Ladder 19; Location 2301 S 24th St, Philadelphia, Pa. 19145. So where can you find your closest location?
