The Bethel Police Department is participating in a Drug Take Back Day tomorrow organized by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The purpose of this event is to make the community safer by disposing of unused or expired prescription medications in a controlled manner, in turn preventing their misuse or abuse. 

Medication drop off will take place at the Bethel Police Department between 10am and 2pm.  Police cannot accept needles or radioactive medications, typically used for the treatment of cancer, due to state regulations and the safety of officers.  Liquids, inhalers, patches and syringes also cannot be accepted. 

The Danbury Police Department is also participating. Medication can be dropped in the lobby of the Police station between 10am and 2pm. Medicines in the home are a leading cause of accidental poisoning and flushed or trashed medicines can end up polluting the waters.
