One pill can kill’: Officials in Wyoming County are looking to implement a drug destruction program

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa. — An opioid settlement money is being used in Wyoming County to help residents fight back against addiction.

“You just open it, you put the pills inside, you add water halfway, you seal it, you shake it, and you throw it away,” said District Attorney Joe Peters.

Six steps are all it takes to join the fight against pill addiction, and pretty soon, District Attorney Joe Peters says every resident in Wyoming County will have access to the Deterra Drug Deactivation System.
