How to Dispose of Unused Medication in East Lyme

Post from East Lyme Youth Services:

The East Lyme Youth Coalition in cooperation with the Public Works department is excited to announce an advertising campaign geared toward prescription drug abuse and disposing of unused medications.

The public service advertisements are promoting the drug take back box located in the East Lyme Police Department, and are currently on two Garbage Trucks in the East Lyme Public Works fleet. The campaign is made possible by a grant received from the Southeastern Regional Action Council (SERAC).

The mission of the East Lyme Youth Coalition is to utilize community resources to provide a safe, healthy and productive environment for the betterment of the youth of East Lyme and Salem.

The coalition meets monthly, and is comprised of town staff, board of education staff, and the general public. This year, the coalition is focusing on educating the community on the dangers of prescription drug abuse.
