Ridgefield Police to participate in DEA medication take back day

The Ridgefield Police Department is participating in a national prescription drug take-back initiative this month to promote the proper disposal of medications. On Saturday, October 26th, from 10am until 2pm, unused and unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medications will be collected at Rite Aid Pharmacy on Danbury Road. 

The Ridgefield Police Department partnered with Rite Aid Pharmacy and the Ridgefield Prevention Council for the weekend collection.  All medications collected will be brought to an incineration facility for destruction by Ridgefield Police officers. 

Police officials say prescription drugs that languish in medicine cabinets create a public health and safety concern because they are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. 

There is a prescription drug take-back box in the front lobby of Police Headquarters available 24 hours a day/365 days of the year.
