Saturday October 27 is National Drug Take Back Day. Please take advantage of this day if you have unused medications that are no longer needed. Do not flush them down the toilet! Pharmaceuticals can wreak havoc on the ecosystem. Please drop off your unused drugs at a local pharmacy, police station, or sheriff's office in Hyde Park. There are also mail back options and lots of other valuable information at: http://www.healthvermont.gov/alcohol-drugs/services/prescription-drug-disposal The goal is to keep them out of the wrong hands, but also to protect the health of the Lamoille River, Lake Champlain, and all the organisms that call those waters their home.
