OCP, along with other Windsor County prevention coalitions are pleased to be supporting the efforts in providing a safe, effective way of disposing of unused prescription drugs.  

Prescription drug abuse is a problem in our area, according to youth surveys and local law enforcement reports.  The most common source of prescription drugs being abused is parents' and grandparents' medicine cabinets.  BE PART OF THE SOLUTION BY DISPOSING OF YOUR UNUSED PRESCRIPTIONS. September 25th from 10-2, there will be a safe place to dispose of unused drugs at the Windsor County Sheriff's office. Pills only, please, no liquids or sharps.
