Bucks County Medication Disposal Program Collects Nearly 45 Tons of Medications
Abstract
In January 2010, Bucks Promise for Youth and Communities (BPYC) formed the Bucks County Medication Collection Take-Back Committee with the charge of developing a convenient and environmentally responsible prescription drug disposal program. By including key partners with a joint interest in reducing prescription and over-the-counter drug misuse, a comprehensive plan was developed based on sound prevention strategies. Essential to this strategy is the leadership from county government, including the County Commissioners, Office of the District Attorney, and Drug and Alcohol Commission, Inc. The execution of this highly successful and year-round campaign is made possible through community partnerships, local volunteers, and agency staff.
