OLD LYME–On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., National Drug Take Back Day comes to the Lyme Street Fire House.
The Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau (LYSB) invites the public to stop by the fire station to dispose of unwanted drugs and get your children’s car seats checked.
As part of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) National Drug Take Back Day, the event provides a safe, convenient way to dispose of unused or expired prescription and over the counter medicines. The DEA reminds everyone to scratch out all personal information on pill bottle labels and medicine packaging. All medications dropped off at the take-back locations will be destroyed.
At the same time, LYSB will host a Child Car Seat Install and Safety Check event with the Old Lyme Police Department (OLPD).
Certified police technicians will be available by appointment to let drivers know whether their children’s car seats are installed correctly. Sign up by calling LYSB at 860-434-7208 or visiting lysb.org/carseat/, then bring your vehicle, child and carseat to the fire station for the check.
