To prevent or reduce accidental contamination of streams, rivers and lakes, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) is joining the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's national prescription drug "Take-Back" initiative and will host an event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday April 28, 2012 to collect unwanted medicine at three MWRD facilities.
The national effort provides an environmentally-friendly opportunity to properly dispose of expired or unwanted medications. The closest drop off site is located at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, 6001 W. Pershing Road, Cicero.
