South Buffalo Township Police Department has installed secure boxes for dropping off unwanted medication.
There are two boxes — one located at the South Buffalo Township Municipal Building and the other at the Cadogan Township building, where the police department has a substation.
“It’s a no-questions-asked means for people to dispose of unwanted, outdated or expired over-the-counter medication or prescription medication,” South Buffalo Police Chief Jeff Kuntz said. “This is to keep it from being flushed and enter our waterways or being left in the house where children can get it.”
The boxes are not meant for needles, liquids or illegal narcotics, Kuntz said. Police have other means of disposing of those substances.
