Center, 25 Ponquogue Ave.; the Flanders Community Center, 655 Flanders Road, and the
Southampton Town Police Substation at Bridgehampton Commons, 2044 Montauk Hwy.
“Unused medications that are not disposed of properly can end up in the hands of our most vulnerable populations, and leached medications will eventually end up in our aquifer and contaminate our drinking water.
