Join National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, Drop Unwanted Drugs at Police HQ
|
Saturday is National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, where people with unused and unneeded prescription drugs are encouraged to drop them off to keep them out of the hands of children or thieves. Darien already has a special bin for dropping off unneeded medication in the lobby of Darien Police Headquarters. And if there’s a danger that your medication could be misused, there’s no time like the present to just drop it off. In Darien, every day is Prescription Dug Take-Back Day, and police say the lobby of Darien Police Headquarters is open every day, 24 hours a day, where you can drop off prescription drugs with no questions asked. This keeps possibly dangerous medications out of the hands of children and thieves, and it’s environmentally safer than flushing them down the toilet or tossing them in the garbage.
