September 24 – Unwanted Household Pharmaceutical Collection

9 am – 1 pm, Cortlandville Fire Station parking lot, 999 Rt. 13. CACTC has created a task force to address the growing concern for unused prescription and over-the-counter medication. In an effort to get these medications off the streets, the task force will hold two household pharmaceutical collection events this year, in April and in September so Cortland County residents can safely dispose of their unwanted medication. This initiative is important because decreasing accessibility to medication can help protect the community water supply, the youth and the elderly from the harms of intended or unintentional use and abuse. No appointment necessary. Supervised collection of all medications including controlled substances, pills, powders, liquids, inhalers, epi-pens, non-prescription drugs, pet medications, over the counter meds. If possible, leave in original container and mark out personally identifying information. We will NOT accept mercury thermometers, mercurochrome, or other mercury products, medical sharps or other hazardous waste. For more information call (607) 756-8970 x1 or e-mail admin@7vcasa.org.
