Giant Eagle Offering Prescription Drug Take-Back Boxes
Clean out your medicine cabinet, and safely dispose of old and unneeded pills and medications.
Giant Eagle is taking steps to fight back against the opioid epidemic.
You can find the drop-off boxes at six locations: Shadyside's Market District, and the Giant Eagle stores in Monroeville, New Castle, Washington, Altoona, and Erie.
According to the DEA, in 2017 at least 6 million Americans misused controlled prescription drugs, and the majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends. One of the best steps you can take to protect your family and community from drug abuse and addiction is simply cleaning out your medicine cabinet!
"We can all do our part in fighting the opioid crisis and misuse of prescription drugs by disposing of old, unneeded or expired prescriptions," Governor Tom Wolf said. "Anyone needing to dispose of prescription medications can safely dispose of the drugs at one of more than 800 drug take-back boxes around the commonwealth."
