Southampton, NY—Southampton Hospital and Pharmacist Bob Grisnik of Southrifty Drug on Jagger Lane in Southampton Village are coordinating the free and safe disposal of needles and other medical “sharps” in a specially designed container that has been installed at the drugstore. Without a place to properly dispose of these items, they are often put in household garbage, and may wind up as litter in the environment, creating a dangerous situation for people and pets. East End residents are encouraged to take advantage of this free service, joining the Hospital and Southrifty Drug in protecting the environment.
