Monongahela Valley Hospital and the Carroll Township Police Department will again work together on National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, a safe way for residents to remove unused drugs from their medicine cabinets, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 27 at the circular driveway adjacent to the Anthony M. Lombardi Education Conference Center.

Participants can remain in their cars and give unwanted drugs to police officers through their windows. Before visiting the collection site, participants should remove any personal information from the bottles or packages of expired, unwanted or unused controlled, noncontrolled or over-the-counter medications. Liquid products and creams in their containers will be accepted, but sharps and syringes will not be accepted.

Donors remain anonymous, and police will not request identification.
