On March 20th, the Coalition for a Safe and Drug-Free Fairfield and its local law enforcement partners will be working to raise awareness about the importance of prescription and over-the-counter drug safety by providing a place for the safe disposal of unused or expired medicines.  Proper disposal of these drugs keeps it out of the hands of kids and is better for the environment. 

Citizens can drop off their unused or expired prescription and over-the-counter drugs at the Fairfield City Police Department First Drug Disposal Day on March 20th from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at either the Fairfield City Police Department or next to Meijiers on S. Gilmore. 

Implementing this initiative in your area is a great opportunity to increase participation of law enforcement in coalition efforts and to focus attention on the dangers of prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse among youth.   Many thanks to the Fairfield City Police department and other county law enforcement agencies who are coordinating this important event.
