In 2007, the Indiana Poison Center, Marion County Health Department, Indianapolis Safe Kids and the Indiana Pharmacists Alliance (IPA), partnered to coordinate a special event for NPPW. “Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet Day” provided a way for the general public to safely dispose of expired and unused medications. Statewide Medical Services very graciously donated containers and incinerated surrendered medication free of charge. Purdue and Butler Pharmacy students volunteered for the event. 

The 2008 event was boosted by the presence of Marsh Pharmacy. Medications were once again collected at the Marion County Health Department and the addition of 41 Marsh pharmacies meant that more people were able to safely dispose of their unwanted medication. Altogether, a staggering total of 600 pounds of medication was collected at this year’s event.
