Medication Disposal
Janta Medical Hall Store will hold a FREE drug take-back program once a year. We will announce when our next program will be held. However, throughout the year you can bring your unused medications to our store and we can dispose of them by a disposable medication system that inactivates the medication properly.
The system can be used and thrown away in the privacy of your own home or we can use the system at our store and throw it away in our waste container. All this can be done for a small disposal fee to cover the cost of the product.
Proper Drug Disposal can Save Lives and the Environment
More than 100 different pharmaceuticals have been detected in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and streams
throughout the world.*
Pharmaceuticals are being detected in the environment and there is genuine concern that these
compounds, in the small concentrations that they’re at, could be causing impacts to human health or to
aquatic organisms.*
A vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex
hormones — have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans.1
The New York state health department and the USGS tested the source of the city’s water, upstate. They
found trace concentrations of heart medicine, antibiotics, estrogen, anti-convulsants, a mood stabilizer
and a tranquilizer.*
Even users of bottled water and home filtration systems don’t necessarily avoid exposure. Bottlers,
some of which simply repackage tap water, do not typically treat or test for pharmaceuticals, according
to the industry’s main trade group. The same goes for the makers of home filtration systems.1
In the United States, the problem isn’t confined to surface waters. Pharmaceuticals also permeate
aquifers deep underground, source of 40% of the nation’s water supply. Federal scientists who drew
water in 24 states from aquifers near contaminant sources such as landfills and animal feed lots found
minuscule levels of hormones, antibiotics and other drugs.*
