American Medicine Chest Challenge

Join the American Medicine Chest Challenge! On Saturday, November 13th, from 10am-2pm, bring your expired or unused medicine to 1500 Chapline St. in Wheeling (Wheeling Police Dept). You will be safely and anonymously disposing of medications that are commonly abused.

The American Medicine Chest Challenge was created to help American families see their medicine cabinets through new eyes -- as an access point for potential misuse and abuse of over-the-counter and prescription medicine by young people. It provides an opportunity to properly dispose of unused, unwanted, and expired medicines and encourages families to take part in the American Medicine Chest 5-Step Challenge.

Step 1) Take inventory of your medicine.
Step 2) Secure your medicine chest.
Step 3) Take medicine only as prescribed by your doctor.
Step 4) Dispose of unused, unwanted, and expired medicine.
Step 5) Talk to your children about the dangers of prescription drugs.
