Selling Your Home?

Prepare for open houses and moving day by not only securing jewelry and personal

valuables but by protecting your prescription drugs.

Take inventory of the drugs in your home. Consider making use of a Home Medication

Inventory Card to track your current medications.

Store drugs that you are currently using in a safe place or in a medication lock box.

Any medications, including pet medications and over- the- counter drugs, that are no

longer being used or have expired, can be discarded safely at medication disposal

locations throughout Bucks County.

For a list of safe disposal sites visit tinyurl.com/BCSafeDisposal

Safe disposal helps keep pharmaceuticals out of our water supply.

Remember it is important to safeguard your medications everyday.

Medicine cabinets are a popular entry point for teen drug abuse

because they are easy to access, especially during home

showings, open houses, and moving days.
