The Cranberry Township Police Department is working with the Drug Enforcement Administration to offer a free “take back” drug collection day Oct. 24.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the rear parking lot of the municipal center. Visitors are invited to drop-off unused, unwanted or expired medications, as well as vape pens, e-cigarettes and related paraphernalia.

The following disposal rules should be followed:

- Dispose of medications in the original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box. Identifying information should be removed.

- If disposing of vape pens or other e-cigarette devices, remove batteries. If you cannot remove the battery, check with chain stores which may accept the vape pen or e-cigarette for proper disposal.

- Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed.

- Intravenous solutions, injectables, and syringes will not be accepted due to potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens.
