🌎💚Celebrate Earth Day by protecting both our planet and our community!
Do you have unused or expired medications or old sharps (like needles or lancets) at home? Don’t toss them in the trash or flush them—these can harm our environment and water supply.

✔️ Prevent pollution
✔️Keep waterways clean
✔️Reduce accidental exposure or misuse

This Earth Day, take a small step that makes a big impact. Dispose of your items safely! mamdp.com
