The Riverhead Community Coalition for Safe and Drug-Free Youth’s second drive-up drug take-back event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Office Max parking lot at Tanger Outlets. The venue will offer the community a safe and convenient way to dispose of unwanted, unused and expired (non-liquid) medication.

At the first CAP drive-up drug take-back event volunteers collected over 100 pounds of discarded medication.

The Riverhead Community Coalition for Safe and Drug-Free Youth is funded by the White House Office of Drug Control Policy. Its mission is to engage collaborative partners in the planning, implementation and evaluation of strategies that prevent youth substance use. For more information about the coalition, or to participate, please call Kelly Miloski, Riverhead CAP’s community prevention specialist, at 727-3722.
