WILMINGTON — To throw away expired or unused medications properly, Novant has a disposal drive-thru planned for Saturday, Oct. 24.

It takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at two locations in town:

  • Novant Health New Hanover Medical Plaza, 2243 South 17th St., Wilmington
  • Novant Health Scotts Hill Outpatient Surgery Center, 9104 Market St., Wilmington

The event provides a good time to clean out the medicine cabinet and prepare for safe disposal of meds. Novant Health will accept all medications, syringes, and e-cigarette and vaping devices with batteries removed.
