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, Oct. 13.
From 5 – 7 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.
“Shed the Meds events are so much more than just a convenient opportunity for cleaning out our medicine cabinets – they provide a secure means of disposal that allows each of us to do our part to protect the environment and prevent drug abuse and misuse in our communities,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “For the last decade, it has been truly a pleasure to work with great partners like the Second Precinct and the Syosset Public Library to make this service available, and I hope everyone will take full advantage of this important opportunity!”
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.
