PA Cleanways of Blair County in association with the Blair County Conservation District; the Blair County Department of Solid Waste and Recycling; and the Inter-municipal Relations Committee are sponsoring a Used Tire Collection Event, for more information check out the event flyer
On September 25, 2010, DEA will coordinate a collaborative effort with state and local law enforcement agencies to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from our nation’s medicine cabinets. Collection activities will take place from 10:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m. at sites established throughout the country. The National Take-Back Day provides an opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications for destruction. This effort will help keep meds from being flushed into water resources.
The program is an anonymous take back. These drugs are a potential source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety. To find a take back location in your area, go to this website and enter your zipcode:
This one-day effort is intended to bring national focus to the issue of increasing pharmaceutical controlled substance abuse.
 | The program is
anonymous.
| Prescription
and over the counter solid dosage medications, i.e. tablets and capsules
accepted.
| Intra-venous
solutions, injectables, and needles will not be accepted.
| Illicit
substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this
initiative. | |
