🚨 Drug Take Back Day is THIS Saturday (Tomorrow!) 🚨
🗓️ Saturday, April 25
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Locations across Rockland County

It’s the perfect time for spring cleaning 🌷🧹 — clean out your medicine cabinet and safely dispose of unused, unwanted, or expired medications. Keeping old medications in the home can increase the risk of misuse, accidental poisoning, and environmental harm.

💊 Take them back. Keep your family and our community safe.

This year, stop by one of the many collection sites across Rockland County, including participating pharmacies and police departments listed on the flyer.

⭐ Special at the Spring Valley location:
In addition to medication drop-off, we’ll also have:
✔️ Deterra bags – a safe at-home option for disposing medications
✔️ Narcan Trainings – learn how to recognize and respond to an overdose and help save a life

Every small action makes a difference. Clean them out. Keep them safe. Take them back.
