Schumer today called on major pharmacy chains and other large retailers to install drug take-back kiosks in their stores across Upstate New York. Schumer said prescription drug abuse is a huge problem in Ulster and Orange Counties, from college campuses, to neighborhood street corners, to inside a family’s home. While the DEA’s periodic Take-Back Program collects and disposes of hundreds of thousands of prescription drugs from Upstate New Yorkers a few times a year, it is not always convenient for the average person, according to the senator. Individuals are more likely to properly dispose of their prescription drugs at the neighborhood pharmacy they use year-round.  </p>"}}
