Operation Medicine Cabinet In East Windsor Oct. 27

EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — East Windsor residents have the chance to get rid of their unused, unwanted and expired prescription medications safely during “Operation Medicine Cabinet” on Saturday, Oct. 27, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., officials announced.

The Township has a drop box in the lobby of the police/court building (80 One Mile Road) for the collection of these various medications. Collected medications will be turned over to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on the next business day for final disposal.

The drop box is available to residents for collection 24/7 all year long, officials said. Officials obtained the drop box from The American Medicine Chest Challenge.

“East Windsor is partnering again with the local DEA office in this special event to promote and focus on the importance of disposing of expired and unneeded medications in a safe and responsible non-hazardous manner,” Mayor Janice S. Mironov said. “This program provides an opportunity to securely dispose of unused, unwanted and expired medications in an environmentally responsible manner and prevents possible misuse and access to these drugs by unauthorized persons and young people. We encourage our residents to take advantage of this local and convenient opportunity.”
