Residents can Safely Dispose of Expired or Unused Medications on April 21st at Brady Park.
Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick), the Nassau County Police Department, and the Village of Massapequa Park are joining together for a "Shed the Meds" to help residents safely disposal of unused or expired medications.
The “Shed the Meds” program will be held between 9am and 1pm at Brady Park, located at 1000 Lake Shore Drive in Massapequa Park on Saturday, April 21, 2012.
Residents who wish to participate can simply drive up, drop off their old or unused medications, and drive away. All collected medication will be safely disposed of by Nassau County Police officers, who will be supervising the program.
Safe disposal helps protect the environment and eliminates the risk of these drugs getting into the hands of small children or those who might misuse them. Improper disposal of medications, such as pouring them down
the drain or flushing them down the toilet, can potentially pollute local waterways.
All resident with questions about the “Shed the Meds” program can be directed to Senator Fuschillo’s office at 516-882-0630.
