Disposal Of Medications
Senator Joe Manchin has provided the Harrison County Senior Center with a case of bags for seniors to safely dispose of old medications in their home. Add up to 45 pills or liquid; seal; shake; and throw away in your regular trash. The carbon materials will deactivate the medication and make it safe for the landfill.
