It was the first time the library has held such an event, and it was very well received. [private] Library Director Ronnie Tatro said there was an overwhelming demand for the opportunity to bring in outdated or unused prescription drugs and have them properly disposed of by the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Department.
The drugs collected are taken back to a secure facility at the county jail and then turned over to the DEA. Tatro said, “any day drugs are not dropped in the woods or down a well is a success.” Photo by Doug La Rocque.[/private]
