Cranberry To Hold Drug Take-Back Event

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — Cranberry is providing an opportunity to safely dispose of unused, unwanted or expired medications. A drug take-back even will be held Oct. 26 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the municipal center's rear parking lot.

Here are a few tips for the disposal of medications:

• Dispose of medications in the original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box.
• Remove any identifying information if disposing in the original container.
• Remove batteries from e-cigarette devices and vape pens. If they cannot be removed, check with chain stores which may accept them for proper disposal.
• Liquid products like cough syrup should remain sealed in their original container. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed.
• Intravenous solutions, injectables, and syringes will not be accepted due to the potential hazards posed by blood-borne pathogens.
