EH Chief sends Update on Pharmaceuticals in the Environment
Survey
Fort Drum MEDDAC is currently exploring options for environmentally friendly ways of disposing
ex-cess/expired household medications. Building the right program requires some feedback from
the Fort Drum community. Please fill out this VERY SHORT survey via the link below (60 seconds or
less!) on your current concerns and disposal practices of prescriptions/over-the-counter medica-
tions. Your input is anonymous and the data will be utilized towards providing the Fort Drum com-
munity with a pharmaceutical disposal program and facility.

On Post Housing Regulation
Per the handbook for residents and the community managers for housing (Fort Drum) that snow ac-
cumu-lation of 3 inches or more must be removed due to SAFETY. If residents do not remove the
snow, they will be fined. The community housing areas managers actually do inspections of yards
and common areas during winter WITH CAMERAS and take photos.
The fines are:
$50 for snow that is not removed from the driveway and walkways leading to the residences.
Each community center also has a listing of contractors who do snow removal on post AND they also
have a listing of "VOLUNTEERS FOR A FEE" that live in each housing area.
Here are few contractors who do on post snow removal (you must call for pricing):
Snow Removal Providers:
Cutting Edge 778-6132
Powel Landscaping 214-1416
Rayex 783-1561
Trudeau Property Services 771-0708
* Please contact a Community Center to be included on the snow removal provider list..
