City Of Breckenridge issued the following announcement on Mar. 01.
Don’t Flush Unwanted Medicines! Remove them from your home & our community safely!
Get rid of unused or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications that may be sitting in medicine cabinets, nightstands, kitchen cabinets or pantries.
Prescription opioid misuse is an ongoing and escalating epidemic, and 70% of opioid dependence, overdoses and deaths begin with leftover drugs in the medicine cabinet. Opioids are just one of the dangerous drugs found lying around our homes. Antidepressants, muscle-relaxers, sleep aids, and ADHD, blood pressure, heart and even pet medications may also be harmful.
