Schuyler County will participate in drug take-back

Elmira Star-Gazette:

Several area law enforcement agencies will take part in an April 30 prescription drug take-back initiative sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. All events will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day.

The Schuyler County Sheriff's Office will hold a drug take-back at the Odessa Fire Station, 300 E. Main St., and the Tyrone Fire Station, 3600 State Route 226.

The service is free and anonymous, with no questions asked. The purpose of the national drug take-back is to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.

Medications (preferably in original containers with labels intact), ointments and sprays will be accepted. Needles cannot be accepted.
