OPP supports the responsible disposal of unused prescription medicationsPrescription medications can be misused in ways not intended by the physician who prescribes them. In an effort to help keep drugs out of the wrong hands, the OPP will be supporting the Prescription Drug Drop Off Day by participating in the collection of unused or expired prescription medications. Police and health agencies in communities across the province will work together on Saturday May 9th to encourage residents to dispose of unused and expired prescription medication in a secure and environmentally-friendly manner. The OPP will be making several sites available for residents to simply drop off unwanted prescription medications for disposal on Saturday May 9th between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Shelburne Police Station 203 Main Street,Shelburne,Ontario. This is a joint police force initiative involving both Shelburne Police and Dufferin OPP. We see results when police work together with communities, health agencies and the citizens of this province, working together mobilizing for community safety and well-being. Police would like to remind the public that all pharmacies in Ontario will accept your unused prescriptions anytime. The public is encouraged to contact their local OPP Detachment for any questions about this important community safety initiative. |
