OPP will be participating in a province-wide initiative that will give you an opportunity to dispose of old and unused prescription medications.
Prescription Drug Drop Off Day will be held on Saturday May 9.
When expired and unused prescription medication is left unattended, it can lead to prescription drug abuse, says a news release from the OPP.
The OPP is making more than 60 detachment locations available so that the public can simply and safely dispose of unwanted, unused or expired medications without leaving their vehicles. Officers and volunteers will be on hand to take the medications from community members from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Local locations for drop offs are:
Mattawa OPP Detachment, 520 Valois Drive, Mattawa
Powassan OPP Detachment, 390 Clark Street, Powassan
Temiskaming OPP Detatchment – 300 Armstrong Street North, New Liskeard
You can also drop off any unused medications at any time to your local pharmacist.
