PRESS PHOTOS BY JIM MARSH Lehigh County residents had a chance Oct. 24 to rid their households of outdated, or no-longer-needed prescription drugs at a number of police-staffed locations across the area. Several sites reported “very productive” activity. In a normal year there would have been spring and fall drop-off opportunities, but COVID-19 safety protocols limited take-back activities to this one initiative. Federal drug authorities will take control of the medications and safely incinerate them. Pictured is Joseph Toth, of Salisbury, giving his household medications to Salisbury Township middle school resource officer Jason Laky.
