LOCK HAVEN - Clinton County District Attorney Dave Strouse has announced Clinton County Drug Take Back week from October 18th through October 22nd, 2021.  The weeklong program is being held in conjunction with the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative to dispose of expired and unused prescription medications before they can get into the hands of young people.  

According to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, more than 11.5 million people age 12 and older misuse a prescription pain reliever each year.  More than 40 percent of those drugs are obtained from friends and family members – typically without their knowledge.  Please take the time to help your family members, especially the elderly, clean out their unwanted and expired medication and take them to one of the 5 Medication Drop Boxes located throughout Clinton County.

Drop Box Locations:

Lock Haven City Hall – 20 East Church Street, Lock Haven

Lock Haven Garden Building - 232 East Main Street, Lock Haven

Pine Creek Police Department – 31 Municipal Drive, Avis
