Store it. Secure it. And keep them separated. Some cannabis edibles look just like candy. Keep them away from kids so their Halloween is safe. Not scary. 🎃

🌟 10/25/2025 – National Prescription Drug Take Back Day 🌟

Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. Today, the Rockland Council was proud to participate in National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, giving our community a safe and convient way to dispose of unused or expired medications.

We appreciate everyone who participated — each turned-in bottle helps protect our community and prevent prescription drug misuse.

If you missed today’s event, you can still dispose of medications safely at home! Reach out to us for a free Deterra® Drug Deactivation and Disposal System — an easy way to permanently deactivate unused medications and reduce the risk of misuse.
