Bristol, Tennessee Gears Up for Drug Take Back Event!
Hey, Bristol! Are you looking for a way to clean out your medicine cabinet and do your part for the community? Well, mark your calendars because on April 26, the Bristol Tennessee Police Department (BTPD) is hosting a fantastic Drug Take Back event that you won’t want to miss!
All the Details You Need
This exciting event is set to take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bristol Tennessee Municipal Parking Lot, located at 801 Anderson Street. It’s super easy to participate, so gather up those old, unwanted, or expired medications and come on down!
What Can You Bring?
Whether it’s prescriptions you’ve stopped taking, over-the-counter medications, or even dietary supplements, the BTPD will gladly accept them all. Just remember that this is a “no-questions-asked” disposal service, which means you can drop off your items without any hassle or worry.
Aiming for a Safer Community
Why is this event so important? The BTPD is on a mission to help reduce safety hazards associated with unused medications and to prevent prescription drug abuse in our community. By participating in this event, you’re not just cleaning out your home, but you’re actively working toward a safer environment for everyone!
Mother Nature Thanks You
Another big reason to clean out those cabinets is the positive impact it has on our environment. Flushing medications or tossing them in the trash can lead to serious harm to our waterways and aquatic life. When you bring your medications to the Drug Take Back event, you’ll ensure they are disposed of safely and responsibly.
What Not to Bring
While the event is quite inclusive, there are a couple of exceptions. Please note that liquids and syringes will not be accepted. So, be sure to check the labels and prepare your items accordingly before heading out.
Plan to Attend!
So why not take a moment to clear out your medicine cabinet on April 26? It could be a great family outing, and you’ll be doing your part for the community—plus, you’ll be keeping our environment happy and healthy!
Let’s make Bristol a safer place together! We hope to see lots of friendly faces at the Bristol Tennessee Municipal Parking Lot. Come share this information and encourage your friends and neighbors to participate! Remember, every little bit counts!
Spread the Word!
Feel free to share this delightful news with others. Together, we can tackle the problem of unused medications while enjoying the sense of community that makes Bristol such a special place. See you there!
