Press release
Sheriff Christopher Bourke is pleased to announce that the Sheriff’s Office will again participate in this nationwide undertaking, which takes place on Saturday October 24, 2020 between 10:00 A.M. & 2:00 P.M.
This is a collaborative effort with the U.S. Department of Justice/Drug Enforcement Administration, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office and the Orleans County Public Health Department.
This is a great opportunity for the public to surrender unwanted and/or expired medications and sharps for safe & proper disposal. Events such as these have dramatically reduced the risk of prescription drug diversion & abuse, as well as increasing awareness of this critical public health issue.
Due to the Current COVID19 restrictions, the Sheriff’s Office will be hosting a drive-up event. All medications and sharps will be collected from participants at their vehicle. Please wear a face covering while participating in this event.
The only authorized collection site for this event will be located at the Orleans County Public Safety Building. We apologize for the inconvenience of not having additional collection locations for this event.
Orleans County Public Safety Building – 13925 State Route 31 – Albion
THIS WILL BE A DRIVE-THRU COLLECTION SITE
