Newark residents will have the chance to safely dispose of unwanted prescription medications this Saturday during a community collection event hosted by local police.
The Newark Police Department is teaming up with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration for the 30th National Take Back Initiative, scheduled for Saturday, April 25th, running from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The program gives community members a secure way to get rid of expired, unused, and unwanted prescription medications from their homes, helping to reduce the risk of pill abuse and medication theft.
Officials encourage residents to bring any potentially dangerous medications they no longer need to help protect their families and community from prescription drug misuse.
