Somerset, New Jersey 08873 - Introduction: National Prescription Drug #TakeBackDay–happening Saturday, October 25, 10am-2pm in the Public Safety Building Lobby at 495 DeMott Lane.
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
On Saturday, October 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Franklin Township Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration will host DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day at locations across the country. DEA and its partners will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs.
For more than a decade, the event has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to addiction.
Take Back Day offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at more than 4,000 local drop-off locations nationwide.
What: National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
When: Saturday, October 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Who: Franklin Township Police Department
Where: Public Safety Building, 495 DeMott Lane, Somerset
In partnership with local law enforcement, Take Back Day has removed more than 9,910 tons (19.8 million pounds) of medication from circulation since its inception.
Collection sites will not accept syringes, sharps, and illicit drugs. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. The cap must be tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
