Project description:

This TGIF project works in collaboration with a prominent environmental NGO, California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC) to impact pharmaceutical waste from the Davis campus and community. The project places secured medicine collection bins at sites that meet requirements for the Board of Pharmacy and educates the public on the impact of pharmaceutical waste on human and environmental health and safety. CPSC will donate a minimum of two bins and use of their intellectual property for the “Don’t Rush to Flush” campaign, including pre-made flyers and advertisements. The TGIF funds cover delivery/installation of the collection bins, promotional activities to educate the campus community on how to safely dispose of medication, including pet medication, over-the-counter, and vitamins.
