NEW CITY – Rockland County
will participate in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday,
April 28.
“This is an easy way to get rid of medications you no longer need
so that they don’t fall into the wrong hands,” said County
Executive Edwin Day.
“Disposing of medications you no longer need by handing them over
to the proper authorities also protects the environment by keeping prescription
drugs out of our water supply.”
In Rockland, residents may bring their medications to the following locations
where police and volunteer community agencies will be available to take
the substances and dispose of them in an environmentally safe way:
• New City, CVS Pharmacy, 280 South Main Street
• Bardonia: CVS Pharmacy, 300 Route 304
• Garnerville: CVS Pharmacy, 12 West Ramapo Road
• Spring Valley: Walgreens, 208 East Route 59
• Nyack: Walgreens, 16 Route 59
