Drugs Disposed: Canonsburg Police Participate in Take-Back Program

Canonsburg Mayor David H. Rhome said the first-ever drug take back program has been a success—with the borough police department collecting more than 17 pounds of unused prescription medications the first day alone.

But today is the final chance for residents to dispose of unused, unwanted, unneeded medication—no questions asked. The collection will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Canon House Apartments.

The program is sponsored by Rhome, the Washington County Chiefs of Police Association, the Washington County District Attorney and the United States Department of Justice.

Residents need only place prescription pills (and even over-the-counter medication) in a plastic bag. All labels should be removed from liquid prescription bottles.
