The Southbury Resident Trooper's office and the Drug Enforcement Administration are giving the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous, expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.  Medications can be brought for disposal to the Southbury Police Department, Resident Trooper's office, on Main Street South from 10am to 2pm.  The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

The Danbury Police Department is also participating in Drug Take Back Day.  Unused medicines can be dropped in the front lobby of the Danbury Police Department.  Danbury Police say medicines in the home are a leading cause of accidental poisoning and flushed or trashed medicines can end up polluting the waters.

Wilton Police say the day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public.  Wilton Police has a Medication Drop-Box in their main lobby, accessible  24/7 - 365 days of the year.  Police officials say this confidential, free service ensures safe disposal of unused medication, protecting our environment and youth.
