The Columbia Township Police Department announces the installation of a Medication Disposal Unit, thanks to CVS/pharmacy.

CVS/pharmacy, as part of their partnership with Drugfree.org, has recently donated a Medication Disposal Unit to the Columbia Township Police Department.

We are grateful and thank CVS/pharmacy for its generous donation to help our community prevent prescription drug abuse. The CVS/pharmacy Medication Disposal for Safer Communities Program is part of the Company’s on-going commitment to combat prescription drug abuse. Each year in the United States, more than 71,000 children aged 18 and younger are seen in emergency rooms for unintentional overdoses of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

Additionally, this method of disposal of unwanted or out-of-date prescription drugs assures that they won’t end up in our water supply.

The Medication Disposal Unit has been installed in the vestibule of the Columbia Township Police Department. It should be noted that “sharps” and liquids are not allowed in this disposal unit, but they can be brought to the counter of the Police Department during regular business hours for disposal.

The disposal unit is intended for area residents, and is NOT for commercial or business use. For more information on this program, visit www.cvs.com/safercommunities.
