Reworld鈩� participated in the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration鈥檚 (DEA) National Drug Take Back Day on October 25, with the goal of making medication disposal simple and accessible for the public. Reworld鈩� hosted collection sites in Fairfax County, VA and Hempstead, NY, with the support of local law enforcement. Reworld鈩� is safely and securely disposing of the communities鈥� expired or unused prescription medications through a high-temperature, environmentally responsible process at its Thermomechanical Treatment Facilities (TTFs).
鈥淣ational Drug Take Back Day demonstrates the power of communities and industry coming together for public good,鈥� said Dave Cali, Senior Director of Security & DEA Compliance, Reworld鈩�. 鈥淓very collection helps keep our neighborhoods safer and our environment cleaner. We鈥檙e proud to support this initiative locally and nationwide.鈥�
At the events, Reworld鈩� representatives helped educate community members about the importance of safe and sustainable medication disposal. To further promote responsible year-round disposal, the company also donated approximately 100 mail-back envelopes, offering a convenient option for ongoing safe medication management for those unable to bring their medications on the day. On October 25, Reworld鈩� collected over 2,000 pounds of unwanted medications between sites in Fairfax County, VA and Hempstead, NY.
