Resolution

The Rite Aid Pharmacy KidCents Foundation has partnered with the Blair Township Police Department to provide a safe and secure location to dispose of unwanted medications by donating a prescription drug drop off box which is located inside the lobby at 375 Cedarcrest Drive, Duncansville, Pa. 16635.
Community members are welcome to drop off unwanted medications during Township business hours between 8am-4pm, Monday thru Friday. No appointment is necessary, and all drop offs are anonymous. Just place the unwanted medications in the box and leave.
We suggest that all prescribed medications to be disposed of be contained inside their original packaging or placed inside a small sealed container (i.e. plastic bottle) or zip-lock bag and any personal information be removed or marked out with a permanent marker.

Items that are ACCEPTABLE to be dropped off.
• Over-the-counter medications
• Prescription medications
• Prescription patches
• Prescription ointments
• Vitamins
• Pet medicines

The following are NOT ACCEPTABLE to be dropped off.
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Compressed cylinders or aerosols (e.g., asthma inhalers)
• Iodine-containing medications
• Thermometers
• Alcohol & illegal drugs (i.e. marijuana, heroin, LSD, etc.)
• Needles (Sharps)
• Ointments, lotions or liquids

We encourage everyone to take advantage of this drop off location to help keep unwanted medications out of the hands of our children and teens.

Stormwater management in the Township is a significant focus. Pennsylvania State regulations require the Townships to provide educational information to the public on stormwater management and ways to control our stormwater to lessen the impact on our streams and rivers.

Blair Township cooperates with Blair County Conservation District for the review of development plans, public education, outreach and enforcement.  The Conservation District website gives an overview of stormwater management.  The link is: www.blairconservationdistrict.org/stormwater_management.htm

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has a website with a variety of information on stormwater management: http://www.dep.pa.gov/Business/Water/CleanWater/StormwaterMgmt/Pages/Be-Stormwater-Smart-.aspx .

Informational Handouts you may find helpful in storm water management are posted below:
