The City safely disposed of more than three Muni buses worth of unused medication in the first five years of a program aiming to prevent the drugs from being sold illegally and polluting the environment, San Francisco officials announced Tuesday.
“This is a free program that is simple and convenient for residents to participate in, and the benefits are significant,” Breed said in Tuesday’s release. “This is remarkable to see, almost a decade later, how the program continues to offer major benefits to our city." “You have to have these locations in convenient spots and those convenient spots are where people are typically picking up their prescription medication,” he said. “And then they're dropping off their old ones at the same time.”
