[Pharmwaste] Poison centers offer med disposal info

[Lotzer Donna M]

NEW POSTER AND WEBPAGE ON SAFE MEDICINE DISPOSAL: Recently the American Assn of Poison Control Centers approved the use of the Poison Help logo and reviewed the content for a new poster by KnowYourOTCs.org (by the Consumer Healthcare Products Association).

> Because OTCs can be safely disposed of at home, the poster's focus is on proper in-home disposal. However, the poster points the reader to aapcc.org for information on how to dispose of prescription medications.  http://www.aapcc.org/prevention/medication-safety/

> To suggest edits to the webpage, please email Osterthaler at aapcc.org<mailto:Osterthaler at aapcc.org>.
