State Representatives Dan Ugaste (R-Geneva) and Jeff Keicher (R-Sycamore) are collaborating with the Elburn Police Department for a Prescription Drug Drop Off Event on Wednesday, July 10, from 9-11 a.m. The event will take place at the Elburn Police Department, located at 301 E. North St., Elburn.
This free outdoor event allows residents to remain in their vehicles while safely disposing of unused, unwanted, or expired prescription drugs. Attendees are encouraged to bring medications in a sealed plastic bag if possible.
“I invite everyone to utilize this opportunity to safely dispose of these substances that can become dangerous when in the wrong hands,” stated Rep. Ugaste. “I am proud to partner with the Elburn Police Department and Rep. Keicher for this event.”
Accepted items include tablets, capsules, and other solid forms of prescription drugs; patches; vaping devices and cartridges with lithium batteries removed; prescription ointments; pet medications; and vitamins. Restricted items that will not be accepted include liquids such as intravenous solutions; syringes; needles; and illegal drugs.
“Preventing prescription drug abuse and ensuring expired medications do not end up in our water supply requires constant work, and I’m glad to be partnering with the Elburn Police Department and Rep. Ugaste in this effort,” said Keicher. “I encourage everyone to check your medicine cabinets and stop by on July 10.”
