NEW LONDON, CT — DEA National Drug Take-Back Day / Sat., 10/29/22

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is this Saturday, October 29, 2022, from 10AM-2PM.

The New London Police Department is once again participating in this DEA sponsored event. Two officers will be stationed in our parking lot, 5 Gov. Winthrop Blvd., for you to drive up and drop off. Again, drive up, drop off, and go. Oh yeah, a smile and thank you from us too!

NOTE: If we experience adverse weather on 10/29/22, the collection will occur in our lobby.

We also have a deposit bin in our lobby. Our lobby deposit bin is available 24/7/365 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year).

No liquids or needles please!

If there are names on any medications, no need to worry. All contents will be disposed of in a proper manner to prevent that info from getting out. Please share with family and friends. Thank you.

This national initiative provides an opportunity for the public to surrender pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications to Law Enforcement officers for destruction. Expired, unwanted or unused controlled substances in our homes are a potential source of supply for the increasing abuse of pharmaceutical drugs in our country and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety.
