Four counties participate in medication disposal event

LELAND, NC (WWAY) — New Hanover Regional Medical Center organized a medication disposal event Saturday.

There were four locations that participated in New Hanover County, two each in Pender and Brunswick Counties, and one in Onslow County.

According to the FDA, people who misuse medication often get their first dose by using drugs prescribed to other people.

This event allowed people a safe way to dispose of their medications that they don’t use anymore.
