| SANFORD, N.C., Oct. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Acknowledging the one-year anniversary of the signing of HR 6—the historic federal legislation aimed at curbing the opioid epidemic, DisposeRx is well on its way to making good on its pledge to remove over 10 million opioid pills from our nation’s medicine cabinets. The DisposeRx Community Outreach Program has donated more than 150,000 packets of DisposeRx—a non-toxic, safe solution for the disposal of unused or expired medications, to 140 community partners in 43 states.
DisposeRx Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Holaday, PhD, proudly visited the White House with 20 other chief executives on Oct. 24, 2018, to participate in the legislation signing ceremony where he made the pledge. Dr. Holaday, who passed away on October 4, 2019, was delighted at the progress made by DisposeRx in working with community partners in states across the nation to safely eradicate unused medications. “John was the passion and vision behind DisposeRx, with an unwavering commitment to remove opioids and other dangerous medications from our medicine cabinets to prevent abuse, addiction and accidental poisonings,” said William Simpson, President of DisposeRx. “Though his death was untimely and tragic, we remain dedicated to building on his legacy and are more motivated than ever to fulfill our mission to complete the pledge with our community outreach partners.” Charitable organizations, faith-based groups and foundations that would like to participate in the DisposeRx Community Outreach Program should complete a short application found on the company website.
