Prescription Drug Take Back Day In Hoosick Falls

The community is invited to bring unused prescription drugs to the Hoosick Falls Village Police Department during Prescription Take Back Day on Saturday, April 30, from 10 am to 2 pm. This opportunity to safely discard unwanted medications is sponsored by the Hoosick Area Youth Center and Community Coalition (HAYC3).
Abuse of prescription drugs has skyrocketed among teens. The first place they often find them is in a medicine cabinet. To prepare for the collection day, take a thorough inventory of all the prescription drugs and over the counter medicines in your home. Check the medicine cabinet, drawers, closets, etc. Note whether the drugs are expired or if they are still needed. The prescription drug take back program is free and anonymous. Please take the time to black out any personal information that may appear on prescription bottles, such as your name or birth date. Only prescription drugs and over the counter tablets and capsules will be accepted. No intravenous solutions, injectibles, or needles please. Illicit drugs, such as marijuana or methamphetamine, are not part of this collection initiative.
All collected drugs will be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner.
