An Upcoming Prescription Drug Takeback Day
The Steuben County Sheriff’s Office is having a prescription drug take back day on Saturday, April 25, from 10am-2pm. That will be at the Sheriff’s Department on Rumsey Street Extension in Bath. For more than a decade, this biannual event has provided Americans with an easy way to dispose of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that can often lead to addiction. Participating in a drug take-back program is one of the most environmentally friendly methods for safely disposing of medications, particularly prescription drugs. Not only is it safe for the environment, but the timely disposal of unwanted medications can also reduce the risk of accidental ingestion or intentional misuse. “This is a great way to help keep your home safe from theft and protect your children from unintended use,” said Sheriff Allard. “Opioid safety is everyone’s business.” Since we started tracking in April of 2021, the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office has collected 6,569 pounds (3.284 tons) of unwanted medications."
