The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office will participate in National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, Saturday, April 28 between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is a collaborative effort with the U.S. Department of Justice – Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Orleans County Health Department.
The public can surrender unwanted and/or expired medications for safe and proper disposal at this event. Events such as these in the past have dramatically reduced the risk of prescription drug diversion and abuse, as well as increasing awareness of this critical public health issue, according to the Sheriff’s office.
The following are collection points: Orleans County Public Safety Building, 13925 State Route 31, Albion; Holley Fire Department, 7 Thomas Street, Holley; Medina Fire Department, 600 Main Street, Medina.
