Safely Dispose of Unused or Expired Medications
Miss the Drug Take Back Day in April? Cleaning out your cabinets? The Brunswick Police Department has a Drug/Prescription Drop Box in their lobby that is accessible for dropping off expired and unused medications. Medicine take back options are the best way to safely dispose of unused or expired prescription and nonprescription (for example, over the counter) medicines.
Before disposing of prescription medicines, be sure to remove all personal information on pill bottle labels and medicine packaging. All of your medicines dropped off at the take back locations will be destroyed.
These collection sites safely and securely gather and dispose of your unused or expired medicines, including those that contain controlled substances and pet medications.
Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (Summer EBT) Information
Your child is eligible for SUN Bucks if your household already participates in SNAP, TANF, FDPIR, or attends a school that offers National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program and your household income meets the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals. Many families will get SUN Bucks automatically if you are getting other benefits, but some families may need to apply for the program.
If your family already participates in SNAP, TANF, FDPIR, or is Homeless, Migrant or receives MaineCare with a verified annual income under 185% of the Federal Poverty Level, your child will be automatically enrolled in the program. If you are not automatically enrolled and believe your children are eligible, you can get a SUN Bucks application, at the above website. You will not need to provide any other documents of information to apply.
Applications must be received by August 15th to qualify SUN Bucks. Please Click Here for more information.
