Saturday, June 7th the City of Glen Cove Police Department, the SAFE (Substance Abuse Free Environment) Agency and the Glen Cove Volunteer EMS coordinated their efforts and held a "drop off your unwanted/expired medications" for proper disposal event. In total, 35 pounds of prescription and over-the-counter medication and 12 pounds of medical waste (used/ unused sharps and syringes) were collected and will be incinerated as the law mandates. By properly disposing of unwanted medication, we are not only protecting the environment, we are safeguarding our all too often curious children. Pictured with Mayor Reginald A. Spinello is the SAFE executive director, Dr. Sharon Harris; Glen Cove Police Officer William Telese; and Matt Venturino, the 2nd Assistant Chief of the Glen Cove Volunteer EMS Corps.
