Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office, launches our Drug Take Back event in conjunction with the DEA. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office will be holding the event on... Saturday April 27th 10:00 am - 2:00 pm Sheriff’s Substation 130 Princetown Plaza Schenectady, NY 12306 You can take unwanted prescription drug medications – no questions asked. No needles or aerosols. Also, this collection is for residents, not businesses. We look forward to seeing you there! #scso #drugtakeback
