Safe Kids Grand Forks, along with our partners, will be hosting a community Medication Take Back Event from 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 21, 2027.The Grand Forks Sheriff's Department will be on-site to take back unused or expired medications to include: pills, liquids, creams, ointments, inhalers, patches and event pet medications.
Staff from Altru's Pharmacy Department will be available to answer questions about safe storage of medications that need to be kept in the home and Safe Kids will provide free cabinet locks and Poison Center magnets with the toll-free number on them.
Thanks to our partnership with Grand Forks Public Health, we will also have FREE medication disposal bags for those that can't access permanent medication drop off locations and FREE sharps containers to those who use needles and syringes for medication administration.
Bring any of your meds that are expired or you no longer need and we will make sure they are properly disposed of so they can't become a poisoning danger to young kids. Medications are currently the leading cause of poisoning in young children so let's do our part to make homes safer from this danger. All meds can be kept in their original containers and you just need to drive up and drop them off with our event volunteers!!
