Press photo by Jim MarSh Salisbury police school resource officer Richard Nothstein shows the results of the drug take back program of no-longer-needed prescription drugs at Salisbury High School, 500 E. Montgomery St., April 24. The local take back program by area law enforcement officers is part of a biannual nationwide program that gives area residents the opportunity to dispose of outdated or no-longer-needed drugs in a safe manner. The drugs will be incinerated by facilities approved by the federal Drug Enforcement Agency. Nothstein said his location “had a pretty busy day,” reflecting last year's collection efforts were limited by COVID-19 restrictions. Salisbury police also offered a drop-off location at Salisbury Middle School, 3301 Devonshire Road, as part of collection efforts.
