Westport PD Teams with the Drug Enforcement Administration
for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
Westport, CT – On Saturday, October 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Westport Police
Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration will host DEA’s National Prescription
Drug Take Back Day at locations across the country. DEA and its partners will collect tablets,
capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs.
For more than a decade, the event has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded
medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to
addiction.
Take Back Day offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at close to 5,000
local drop-off locations nationwide.
What: National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

from circulation since its inception.

syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. The cap must be tightly sealed to prevent
leakage.
