Please note, that batteries must be removed from Vape devices and be placed in a sealed ziploc baggie. The vape batteries can also be collected at the event.
Local law enforcement is partnering with the local youth substance use coalitions, the Camanche DeWitt Coalition and the Gateway ImpACT Coalition and the Drug Enforcement Administration to hold the “Take Back Day” to help residents by collecting unused, unneeded, or expired medication and vapes/electronic cigarettes and disposing of it.
The purpose of the event is to provide a convenient opportunity for Clinton County residents to safely dispose of their unused or expired medications and vapes. Youth report having access to medication and vapes in their own home. We want to encourage residents to lock up their medication, and if it is no longer needed dispose of it.
