Missouri American Water is proud to sponsor the Missouri
Prescription Pill and Drug Disposal (P2D2) recycling event during
the St. Louis Earth Day Recycling Extravaganza from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. on April 2 on the campus of St. Louis Community College –
Forest Park.
The Extravaganza brings together groups dedicated to helping the
environment through recycling, including P2D2, a nonprofit
organization that provides an environmentally safe alternative to
disposing medications in a landfill or sewer systems that may later
negatively affect the environment.
This program encourages citizens to remove their unneeded
medications from their homes. This reduces access to dangerous
medications for accidental or intentional misuse by residents and
children in the home. The average amount of unwanted medication
that is collected by the program is 3,500 pounds per quarter.
At the Recycling Extravaganza, P2D2 will recycle any unwanted
medications other than illicit or illegal substances, aerosol
inhalers or needles. The collection is anonymous, no records are
kept and no identification is required.
P2D2 offers year-round collection at a number of St. Louis-area
locations, which can be found here:
