Medical Disposal Day included lots of volunteers
Law enforcement and pharmacy students teamed up for Medical Disposal Day in Ada on Saturday.
Forty-two people showed up to safely dispose of unwanted or expired medical supplies, mostly drugs. Some drugs can safely be flushed down the drain while others cannot because water plant filtration systems cannot fully treat them.
Pharmacy students helping are from the Academy of Students of Pharmacy. They worked with the sheriff, his deputies and Volunteers in Police Service.
Hardin Memorial Hospital and the North West Central Solid Waste District were big contributors to the project, as well. Another disposal day may be held in Ada in the fall. In the meantime, unwanted drugs can be taken to the sheriff"s department. (Monty Siekerman)
