I just want to make an update or two:
According to operationmedicinecabinetnj.com, New Jersey residents dropped off 9,000 pounds of expired/unwanted medication last weekend. As stated in one of my posts last week, Williamstown residents had a chance to drop off their expired/unwanted medicine to the Monroe Township Police Department.
There has been no word on when the new Checkers restaurant is going to start construction, or if the township has spoken to the state in order to fix what will become a tricky parking lot situation.
**On a side note; I had wanted to make a post talking about the Monroe Township Public Schools cancelling their sports for the year. However, when I sent an e-mail to Superintendent Charles Earling regarding this, he said, “This is a bad rumor. No way will this happen,” on Thursday, Nov. 19. Should this become an issue down the line, you will find out as soon as I do.

Part of a flier found at a pharmacy
The Monroe Township Police Department is teaming up with an organization known as Operation Medicine Cabinet next weekend.
Description of the event
When I heard about this I went to my very own medicine cabinet and found an old bottle of cough syrup. Oops! I’m in trouble: it should’ve been thrown away October 2008!
My expired medicine!
While at the pharmacy, which I cannot name due to company policies, I spoke to a pharmacist. I asked her why it is important to get rid of old medication. She said,
“Proper disposal of prescription and non prescription medication is important because of dangerous exposure to toxic substances to people and the environment.”
A random assortment of prescription medication
If you have old prescription medicine sitting around the house, you should consider taking part in this.
For more information, contact the Monroe Township Police Department:
