Supervisor Kenny hosted a drive through “Shed the Meds” event, in partnership with District Attorney Tom Walsh, Assemblyman Mike Lawler and the Orangetown Police Department. Many thanks to all who came out and disposed of old and unused medications. The event was a success, with thousands of pills taken out of cabinets and potentially off the streets and destroyed in an environmentally safe manner.
