The OPP is calling last week’s Prescription Drug Drop Off Day across the province a huge success.
Over 40 OPP detachments participated, along with many local Police Services.
A total of 150 kilograms of prescription medications were received from the public who took part in the health and safety awareness initiative on Saturday, May 21st.
The success of this initiative is measured by the public awareness of the dangers of unused, unwanted or expired medications.
People are encouraged to take prescription drugs back to the pharmacy where they can easily be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
