The takeback provided 120 residents with a safe and responsible way to get rid of 718 pounds of unused prescription drugs, expired over-the-counter medications and nicotine products, including electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices. The event, sponsored by the Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration, was organized by police spokesman Sgt. Patrick Buturla, Youth and Family Services Director Diane Dietman and Nicole Wiley, the Prevention Council’s prevention coordinator. (City Photo/Diane Dietman)
