East Northport offer to help dispose of medication safely

Lots of East Northport residents have medication in their cabinet that they no longer use or need, and its proper disposal is important. They will be able to do this during the “Operation Medicine Cabinet” initiative, and community residents are encouraged to take advantage of this service.

The program will see a collection station set up at the Elwood Library, located at 1929 Jericho Park. The public can bring medication in for safe disposal, keeping it out of landfills and the larger environment.

Pre-registration is not required for this service. No liquid medications, needles, or syringes will be accepted, and the public has been asked to make sure their unneeded medication is packaged in plastic Bags for the drop-off. Anyone who has questions or concerns has been asked to contact the library at elwoodprograms@elwoodlibrary.org.

Raising awareness about a community activity like this is not always easy, but a poster printing company can help. It can prepare a variety of marketing materials, and these can give the public details about when and where the function will be taking place, as well as how they can participate.

Operation Medicine Cabinet will be up and running at the Elwood Library on April 27, with the collection taking place from 12:00 noon until 2:00 pm. The library’s website includes the most up-to-date information about the event.
