EH Chief sends Update on Pharmaceuticals in the Environment Survey
Fort Drum MEDDAC is currently exploring options for environmentally
friendly ways of disposing excess/expired household medications. Building
the right program requires some feedback from the Fort Drum community.
Please fill out this VERY SHORT survey via the link below (60 seconds or
less!) on your current concerns and disposal practices of prescriptions/over-
the-counter medications. Your input is anonymous and the data will be util-
ized towards providing the Fort Drum community with a pharmaceutical dis-
posal program and facility.
