Veteran's Day
Speaking at the Sr. Citizen's Center
On October 1st, Phyllis Butts visited with the folks at the Sylvania/Screven Senior Citizens Center. The reason for her visit was to speak to the audience about disposal of expired or unwanted over the counter and prescription medications. Through research, Phyllis found the best way to dispose of these medicines is to crush them and dissolve them in water. Then mix with kitty litter, coffee grounds or sawdust to absorb the ingredients. Consumers should seal the ingredients in a plastic bag and toss it in the garbage. Sealing the ingredients prevents accidental animal or human poisoning. And never flush down the commode! Medications can end up in your drinking water. Lastly, Phyllis
explained to remove all labels from medicine containers to avoid identity theft.
