National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is Saturday, April 30, from 10 AM-2 PM. Bring your expired, unwanted or unused medications to a local drop off location including:  Kinney Drugs (Shelburne & Hinesburg), Williston Shaws, Shelburne Police Department and Williston Police Department for proper disposal. Proper prescription drug disposal is important for a safe and healthy community as well as protecting our children and our environment.  Show you care by doing your part to keep unsafe drugs in safe hands.

What can you do?
Show you care. DON’T SHARE medication.
  1. DISPOSE of your unused medications safely at a local disposal site.
  2. SECURE all medications in your home
  3. MONITOR all medications in your home to ensure they are used as directed and only by those to whom they are prescribed.
  4. TALK to your kids about the dangers of prescription drugs
Disposal is free and anonymous.
