Hazleton Creek Properties Donates to Hazleton’s “Drop the Drugs” Van Program

MOOSIC, PA – Hazleton Creek Properties (HCP) of Moosic, PA, is a proud sponsor of Hazleton’s “Drop the Drugs” Van, a mobile drug drop-off location to help keep unwanted prescription drugs out of the hands of our children.

According to Paul Brenner, any organization or group can schedule the the “Drop the Drugs” Van in advance by emailing details to the program coordinator. With a goal of having the project funded by donations from a variety of organizations and local businesses, Hazleton Creek has generously contributed $2500 to support this important cause.

“I am working to gain support to expand into Greater Hazleton a successful program currently underway in Susquehanna County,” said Mr. Brenner. “The ‘Drop the Drugs’ mobile van is an initiative started by Susquehanna County District Attorney Robert Klein, and staffed by the county sheriff’s office, to make it easier for residents to safely and securely dispose of old or unwanted prescription drugs.”

“Along with every other concerned citizen, Hazleton Creek Properties understands the breadth and severity of heroin addiction in our community,” said HCP’s Bill Rinaldi. “We are proud to be part of a solution that will help prevent further exposure of excess prescription drugs and allow our residents to securely dispose of these medications safely.”
