Drug drop-off day

slated for Saturday

The city of Dunkirk Police Department and WCA ALSTAR Ambulance in cooperation with the Federal Drug Enforcement agency are coordinating a North County location for National Prescription Drug Drop Off Day on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

WCA ALSTAR Services has again provided their North Headquarters for the drive in drop off location. ALSTAR North is located behind School 3 at Route 60 and Orchard Street in the city of Dunkirk. The prescriptions can be dropped off with no questions asked.

This is an important program because any unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issues leading to accidental poisoning, overdose and abuse. In many states, deaths from prescription drugs now exceed those from motor vehicles accidents with opiate painkillers like Vicodin, Percocet and Oxycontin leading abuse. Recent reports show that the number of people seeking treatment for painkiller addiction increased 400 % within the last 10 years.
