A prescription drug take back event is taking place next weekend. Residents can bring unwanted, unused prescription meds to local drop off points on the 28th, from 10am to 2pm.
One location is the Easton Library Lot, where pills will be collected by the Easton Police and destroyed by the DEA. Easton Police Cadets will be assisting citizens as they simply drive up and hand safely packaged medication to them for disposal.
Ridgefield Police says prescription drugs that languish in medicine cabinets create a public health and safety concern because they are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Potentially dangerous, unused and unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medications will be collected at Bissell Pharmacy on Governor Street.
There is a prescription drug take-back box located in the front lobby of Ridgefield Police Headquarters available 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year and is also completely anonymous.
