Prescription Roundups
To help get these drugs off the street, Arms of an Angel Foundation regularly runs Old Prescription Roundups, where people bring in old prescriptions. These are run under strict DEA guidelines and with DEA approval, with local law enforcement present. The pills are placed by the owner into an "amnesty box", a locked safe. After the roundup, they are transported, with police escort, to Snyder Funeral Home, for incineration.
This is the only safe way to destroy these potentially-dangerous drugs. They should never be flushed down toilets as they can contaminate our water system and could destroy bacteria in septic tanks.
People are encouraged to keep their current prescriptions under lock and key and to properly dispose of old prescriptions in this manner.
Arms of an Angel Foundation does not charge any money for speaking or running drug roundups, but donations and endowments are accepted. They are a non-profit organization recently founded by the Culbertson Family, following the tragic death of their son, Carl Culbertson from an accidental overdose. They are available for educational speaking engagements to people of all ages.
"Let’s work together to help get the fresh drugs under lock and key and the old drugs destroyed before they reach kids' hands", remarked Dave Culbertson.
"If we can help prevent even one family from going through what we have been, and are going through, then these efforts are worth it," Culbertson added.
For more information, call Dave Culbertson, 740-485-1641.
