Cranberry Schedules Drug Take-Back Event

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — The township has scheduled its annual drug take-back event in which residents can dispose of unused, unwanted or expired medications.

This year's event will occur April 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the municipal center's rear parking lot.

This event will also serve as a used eyeglass donation drop-off for the Cranberry Township Lions Club’s Mission-Vision to provide glasses to those in need. Glasses can be dropped off at any time during the event.

A few tips for the disposal of medications:

• Dispose of medications in the original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box.
• Remove any identifying information if disposing in original container.
• If disposing of vape pens or other e-cigarette devices, remove batteries. If they cannot be removed, check with chain stores which may accept them for proper disposal.
• Liquid products such as cough syrup should remain sealed in their original container. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed.
• Injectables and syringes will not be accepted due to potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens.
