2. PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE DISPOSAL
The Chatham County Sheriff’s Department will be available to safely dispose of all your old, unused, or expired prescription medications safely and legally.
All you need to do is leave them in the original packaging and hand them to the sheriff deputy on duty at the Gathering Place. No liquid medication or "sharps" (needles) are accepted. Remember: NEVER FLUSH medicines as they cause environmental issues.
AN ALTERNATIVE TO THROWING AWAY YOUR CURRENT UNUSED, UNWANTED PRESCRIPTION MEDICINES: consider donating them to Chatham Cares Community Pharmacy [CCCP] in Siler City, a non-profit community-based organization operated by a licensed pharmacist and committed to reducing health disparities by providing access to quality pharmacy services to the low-income, uninsured, and underinsured residents of Chatham County.

3. FIRE EXTINGUISHER CHECK
Stopping Fires In Your Home With Smoke Alarms And Fire Extinguishers
Spring 2022 Information | Have you tested or used your fire extinguisher in the past year? United Fire and Safety Equipment Company will be at The Gathering Place for the annual recertification of your fire extinguishers at a cost of $9.95 by cash, check, or credit card. They will also sell new smoke alarms and new extinguishers. If your extinguisher can be refilled, the costs will be the same as last year: $20.50 (2.5 lbs), $27.50 (5 lbs), $36.50 (10 lbs), or $47.50 (20 lbs). The cost of a new fire extinguisher is $65.50 for 2.5 lb size. (A new extinguisher is more expensive this year because the steel canister is made in China and the cost of canisters has increased dramatically.) ___________________________________________
