Proper Disposal of Prescription Drugs
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) has issued new guidelines regarding the proper disposal of prescription drugs. To prevent water pollution, prescriptions should not be flushed down the toilet. When the drugs get to the sewer treatment plant, they cannot be fully filtered out. After the plant cleans the waste, the water is discharged out into the ocean - the prescription drugs are flushed out as well. Scientists are finding high levels of drugs in the water and marine animals.
Please take your prescription drugs to a "Take-Back" site near you. There is one located at the Town Hall Police Department: 100 Ann Edwards Lane, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464.
