With the warmer temperatures comes spring cleaning! While you’re cleaning out your medicine cabinets, please don’t pollute our water systems with expired and unused medications.

Instead, please plan now to drop them off to the Waterford Police Department for appropriate disposal on Friday, May 30, 2013 from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. in the parking lot.

No plastic bottles, no needles, no aerosols and no liquids please.

Empty all your pills into one clear plastic, sealed baggie and drop them off. You won’t even need to get out of your car!

If you can’t make it on May 2, the Waterford Police Department has a drop-box conveniently located in their offices where you can drop off items any day. Just be sure to again put all the pills in one sealed plastic bag.

PROJECT STICKER SHOCK – June, 2013

Often youth gain access to alcohol through those that legally purchase alcohol, then provide it to them. Controlling accessibility is a crucial component in reducing underage drinking.

It is ILLEGAL to purchase alcohol then provide it to minors, 365 days of the year, regardless of whether you are in your own home or not. Fines can run up to $1,000, along with jail time.

Student volunteers work with our local businesses to ensure customers are aware of the risks and penalties involved in providing to minors through their visitation of stores and labeling of multi-packs of alcohol.

This initiative continues throughout the year and is implemented based on the student volunteer schedules.
