DisposeRx Community Outreach Program Now Active in All 50 States and District of Columbia – 11 Partners Added in July

SANFORD, NC – August 6, 2020 – The Community Outreach program for DisposeRx, Inc., is now available in all 50 states with the addition of Essex CHIPS (Community Health Initiatives & Programs for Students) in Essex, Vermont—a non-profit organization that delivers substance abuse prevention campaigns and promotes healthy living.

Essex CHIPS joins 10 other new non-profit partners that signed on in July to work with DisposeRx—the market-leader in at-home drug disposal solutions.

“In October 2018, as part of the federal SUPPORT (Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities) Act, we increased our commitment to local communities by pledging to donate enough DisposeRx packets to dispose of 10 million opioid pills,” said DisposeRx President William Simpson. “We are so proud that our Community Outreach program has grown exponentially in less than two years and now can be found in all 50 states.”

DisposeRx now partners with 277 organizations – including civic groups, churches, foundations, health departments and law enforcement agencies – by donating packets of its simple at-home medication disposal solution and providing education materials on the importance of safe medication management.

In addition to Essex CHIPS, the other new Community Outreach partners are:
