Lewis County group focuses on eliminating unused medications

WATERTOWN, N.Y.

People in Lewis County now have more opportunities to safely dispose of unused medications.

Members of the United Prevention Coalition of Lewis County distributed Deterra drug disposal containers at several local health centers; the containers hold more than 1,000 pills along with liquids and patches. Individuals who want to get rid of prescription pills they no longer need can drop them into the containers stored at these facilities during their regular business hours.
