Westchester County will once again be participating in a nationwide effort on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 10AM to 2PM to get people to dispose of old, unused medicines properly,

When bringing unused medications – whether prescription or over the counter – keep them in their original bottle or container. Hypodermic needles will not be accepted; instead, place them in puncture-proof containers and throw in the trash.
