Get Rid Of Your Old Meds At Drug Take-Back Event In Loganville

LOGANVILLE, GA — Most people who misuse prescription drugs get them from a friend or relative – often from the medicine cabinets in their own homes, according to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

That's why the Cardinal Health Foundation, Kroger Health and DisposeRx® will host Drug Take-Back events or safe medication informational booths at nearly 100 Kroger pharmacy locations across the country on Saturday, Oct. 24, the Drug Enforcement Administration's National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.

"Kroger Health welcomes the opportunity to again partner with Cardinal Health to provide safe, convenient and anonymous locations to safely dispose of unused or expired prescription drugs," said Colleen Lindholz, president of Kroger Health.

The event in Loganville will take place at the following location Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.:

Kroger
4753 Atlanta Hwy.
Loganville, GA 30052

During the event, Kroger Health pharmacy associates will distribute free reusable shopping totes with DisposeRx at-home medication disposal packets and Generation Rx materials (note: quantities are limited). Generation Rx, an evidence-informed prevention education program offers age-appropriate resources to teach others about using medications safely. The program, founded at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, has been powered through a partnership with the Cardinal Health Foundation since 2009.

Local law enforcement officers will be on site to accept unused or expired pills, liquids, gels and patches just outside of Kroger.

Note: No medications will be accepted inside Kroger stores.
