GUILDERLAND LIBRARY: Got drugs? Get rid of them, no questions asked!
On Saturday, April 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., you can get rid of all your unused or expired medications at a National Drug Take-Back Day drop-off point in the Guilderland Library’s parking lot. No questions asked.
The Library and the Guilderland Police Department have teamed up for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s nationwide Drug Take-Back Day, a one-day collaborative effort between the DEA and state and local law enforcement agencies that focuses on removing potentially dangerous controlled substances from your home.
Previous Drug Take-Back Days at GPL have brought in record amounts of unwanted, expired and unused medications, showing how necessary this program is. Please don’t let this opportunity to rid your home of these hazards pass you by.
All surrendered pharmaceuticals/controlled substances are destroyed by law enforcement officers. Not only does this program provide an opportunity for community agencies to collaborate and establish a safe collection site, it also brings national attention to the issue of pharmaceuticals and controlled substance abuse.
What CAN be disposed:
• Controlled, non-controlled, and all over-the-counter substances
• Medication in its original container or removed from its container can be disposed of directly into the disposal boxes. (If an original container is submitted, be sure to remove any identifying information from the prescription label.)
What CANNOT be disposed:
• No sharps and syringes
Drug Take-Back Day officials will not ask questions of nor request identification from anyone. It’s your best opportunity to rid yourself of hazardous medications that can bring harm to you and others in your household.
About GPL
The Guilderland Public Library is located at 2228 Western Ave., Guilderland. Visit the Library’s website at www.guilpl.org to get information on upcoming programs, and to register for events.

There's a general strike in the USA on April 15th and you all are invited. After the so-called tax cuts, this year you will receive a smaller refund, or will have to pay even more taxes than other years. Do you know who is really benefitting from the Republican/Trump tax cut scam? The VERY RICH. That's all Paul Ryan wanted; he got it and ran away. “The 2017 law was supposed to boost workers' wages, create jobs, and drive more investment — and as we've known for a while, it's done none of that. But now we can add two more failures to the creatively-named Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA): It hasn't encouraged corporations to return their profits from overseas, and it's probably hiding a nasty surprise for many Americans come tax season.” – Jeff Spross If in your tax bracket, after Trump's tax cuts, you received 3% more money in your paycheck, and then when you file your taxes you receive an average of 8% refund less than other years, how much are you losing? “Lower tax refunds might hurt the economy. If Americans are getting less money back, that might mean they're going to spend less of their refund.” - Jordan Valinsky Your (small) refunds will be delayed thanks to President Donald Trump’s shutdown. "I DIDN’T NEED TO DO THIS." - Donald Trump as he declares a national emergency taking billions of dollars away from our Veterans, and leaving for Florida for the weekend to PLAY GOLF. JOIN THE GENERAL STRIKE APRIL 15, 2019. PROTEST THE ILLEGITIMATE CORRUPT CRUEL TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. EVENT: GENERAL STRIKE TO REMOVE TRUMP FROM OFFICE. WHEN: APRIL 15, 2019. TIME: 12:00 AM TO 11:59 PM. WHERE: THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
