SEA ISLE CITY – Sea Isle City announced that it has joined the New Jersey Attorney General’s “Project Medicine Drop” initiative, and will install a Project Medicine Drop Box at police headquarters.
According to a release, this makes it easier and more convenient than ever for Sea Isle City residents to take an active role in the fight against the nationwide epidemic of opiate and heroin abuse, which often is fueled by the abuse of prescription painkillers.
“Project Medicine Drop has been a tremendously successful program in helping with the ongoing battle against opiate abuses, and it shows our commitment to doing all that we can to help in this fight,” stated Police Chief Thomas McQuillen.
“Sea Isle City’s Municipal Alliance Committee and Police Department have worked long and hard to get to this point and we are all very excited about this program, which will allow our residents and visitors to come to the Police Department’s lobby 24 hours a day, seven days a week and anonymously dispose of unused medications, without ever having to talk with an officer,” he added.
The Project Medicine Drop Box will soon be installed in the lobby of Sea Isle City Police Department Headquarters, on the first floor of City Hall, 233 JFK Boulevard.
Once installed, residents may visit the Sea Isle City Police Department at any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, to dispose of their unused medications.
Project Medicine Drop is an important component of the New Jersey Attorney General’s effort to stop the diversion and abuse of prescription drugs, including highly addictive opiate painkillers.
Through this initiative, the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs installs secure “prescription drug drop boxes” at State Police barracks, sheriff’s offices, and police departments throughout the State, including two military installations and several college campuses, allowing citizens to safely dispose of their unused, excess, or expired prescription medications.
By giving the people of New Jersey a safe and secure method to dispose of unneeded medications, Project Medicine Drop helps prevent the abuse of these drugs.
This initiative also protects New Jersey’s environment by keeping these drugs out of landfills and out of water supplies. More information about Project Medicine Drop, including the full list of Project Medicine Drop locations, can be found at www.NJConsumerAffairs.gov/meddrop.
