Belmont Police Holding Drug Take Back Day

BELMONT, MA – The Belmont Police Department in conjunction with the Belmont Auxiliary Police and the DEA will be hosting a Prescription Drug Take-Back Day to prevent the abuse and theft of old, unused and expired prescription drugs. These drugs are highly susceptible to misuse by family and friends and can be improperly disposed of, posing a potential health hazard.

Belmont police will have a collection point set up at the DPW yard, 37C St., on Saturday October 28th from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Old or unused prescription drugs (no liquids) may be dropped off for free, no questions asked.
