Medication Take -Back /Disposal Event TODAY: The South Windsor Police Department will be hosting another DRUG DISPOSAL DAY, TODAY, October 26, 2013 from 10:00 a.m to 2:00 p.m at the South Windsor Police headquarters. Volunteers from the South Windsor Triad (Police, Human Services & Senior Services) will be on hand to receive unwanted medications from citizens. This is a drive up event; volunteers will collect the unwanted medication and place it in a disposal container. The event is part of a nationally coordinated Drug Enforcement Administration event to allow citizens to safely dispose of unwanted medications. All medications will be accepted: prescription, non-prescription and over the counter. (No needles will be accepted.) These events are held to reduce the risk of prescription drug diversion and abuse, and accidental ingestion. Additionally, the proper disposal of unwanted and outdated medication lessens the chance of negative environmental impact such as groundwater contamination and watercourse pollution.
