Government is broken. Politicians don't seek common ground. They cast insults instead of creating results. It's time for our elected leaders to put voters first and get to work. This November, critical issues like Medicare, Social Security, caregiving, prescription drugs and financial security are all on the line. AARP is urging all New Jerseyans to use your vote to hold politicians accountable and make them pay attention to the nation's most powerful voting bloc - the 50+.

AARP, in collaboration with the City of Perth Amboy and the Perth Amboy Police Department, will be hosting a Shred Event and Prescription Medication Take-Back Day. Bring any confidential paper documents to our event, and we'll shred them for free. All attendees are invited to drop off any unused and expired prescription medications anonymously, no questions asked. For safety reasons, the Project Medicine Drop box can only accept solid medications such as pills, patches, inhalers, and similar objects and cannot accept liquids, medical waste, or syringes.
