Monroe County Legislator Jackie Smith along with Monroe Eco Park and the Monroe County Sheriffs will be holding a Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal Event on Wednesday, September 20, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Clarkson Highway Garage, 3623 Lake Road North, Brockport. No appointment required; just drive in and drop off.

At least once a year you should take inventory of any medications you have in your home to keep your medicine cabinet up to date. Follow these simple steps to be prepared and to ensure safety for your at-home medications. Check expiration dates on all products and discard outdated products or any old supplies.

Acceptable items for the drop off include pills and liquid medication, prescription medication, over the counter medication, ointments and creams, sprays and inhalers, empty prescription bottles, vials (you can leave labels on the bottles and vials), pet medications, EpiPens and sharps.
