National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

The drop off location in Somerville will be a kiosk which is located in the lobby of the
Public
Safety Building,

which was opened in the fall of 2010. It is open to all community members 24 hours a day, seven days a week and on October 29
Somerville is joining in the national celebration.

Unwanted medications, with the exception of liquids, may be disposed of at the kiosk after all personal information and identification has been removed from bottles and containers. Residents are also asked to place all containers within a zip lock bag prior to drop off.

There will be a table with Somerville Cares About Prevention coalition members providing informational packets.

Communities all across the country are holding Drug Take Back Days in an effort to curb Prescription Drug Abuse and to keep our environment safe.
