Ossining's Drug Take Back Success

The Ossining community pulled together in an effort to get unused prescription drugs out of our homes.

Ossining's Drug Take Back Day was a big success, according to organizers. Officials say that more than $65,000 in drugs were taken in during the effort. 

The drug take back day was held at the Birdsall-Fagan Police/Court Facility. Healthsmart Pharmacy Pharmacist Tullio Bruno supervised the effort, which was coordinated by Ossining Communities That Care.

Organizers say that they collected four huge boxes and a large garbage bag worth of drugs during the September 29 take back, which you can see in the attached pictures.
