Red Barrel Campaign<br />
The <strong>Hamburg</strong> <strong>Township</strong> Police Department continued its participation in the Livingston County<br />
Community Alliance's Big Red Barrel project. The purpose of the project is to reduce the<br />
availability of prescription drugs to kids in the home.<br />
All unused or unwanted prescription medications may be disposed of by being deposited into the<br />
Red Barrel located at the front entrance of the <strong>Hamburg</strong> <strong>Township</strong> Police Station. Prescription<br />
drugs may be dropped off 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and it is completely anonymous. All<br />
prescription drugs deposited in the Red Barrel are destroyed in an environmentally safe manner<br />
under the oversight of law enforcement officers.<br />
The Red Barrel was emptied twice during <strong>2012</strong> resulting in the disposal of over 25 pounds of<br />
prescription drugs each time.<br />
Prescription drugs retrieved from the Red Barrel and destroyed on August 28, <strong>2012</strong><br />
