Drive-Up Drug Take Back Event

Truman VA will hold a drive-up drug take back event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24, in the medical center’s patient and visitor garage (near the elevators). Participants should drive into the garage using the upper northwest entrance (near the elevators). Volunteers will walk to the vehicle and collect medications at the driver’s window. The drive-up event provides participants an opportunity to safely remove expired, unused, and/or unwanted pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications from their homes for proper disposal without having to leave their vehicle during the drop-off process. Items that will not be accepted include needles, intravenous (IV) solutions, injectables, and/or syringes due to the potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens. Additionally, no inhalers or other compressed air cylinders will be accepted.
