WHAT – Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D - Plainview) is once again partnering with the Nassau County Police Department’s Second Precinct to host a “Shed the Meds” event at the Syosset Public Library on Tuesday, April 21.
From 5 – 7:30 p.m., residents will have the opportunity to securely dispose of unwanted and/or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, drug samples and pet medications under the supervision of Second Precinct officers. Please note that, during this Shed the Meds session, only pills will be accepted for disposal – and the pills must come from homes, not businesses.
“Spring cleaning is well underway, and the medicine cabinet is of the most important places to focus our attention,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “These opportunities aren’t just convenient – secure disposal helps us protect the environment and prevent drug abuse and misuse in our communities. It is always a pleasure to work with the Second Precinct and the Syosset Public Library on this program, and I invite you to join us and take advantage of this important service!”
Residents can contact the Second Precinct at 516-573-6200 or Deputy Minority Leader Drucker’s office at 516-571-6216 or adrucker@nassaucountyny.gov with questions.
