Safely dispose of unwanted/expired medication at GIANT

In partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and local law enforcement agencies, GIANT Food Stores will participate in the national “drug take-back” initiative on Saturday, April 26. Expired and unwanted medications can be brought into one of 39 participating GIANT locations in Pennsylvania between 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Personal information (such as names and addresses) should be crossed out or removed from the medication. No sharps or syringes will be accepted.

 

“This is the eighth time over the past four years we have participated in this free initiative to encourage our customers to properly dispose of medications in an environmentally-friendly manner and keep them out of our lakes, streams and drinking water supplies,” said Leigh Shirley, director of pharmacy operations.
