Since the purpose of this prescription drop-off is to "secure and dispose" of these unused meds, don't you agree that some information about who is taking possesion of these drugs and how they will disposed of is needed...also keeping them in their original containers offers personal information to be passsed on to an unknown someone...doesn't sound like a good thing to do at this point!!
