The Belmont Police Department and the DEA will be hosting a prescription drug Take-Back Initiative to prevent abuse and theft of old, unused and expired prescription drugs. Unfortunately, these drugs are highly susceptible to misuse by family and friends. In addition they can be improperly disposed of and end up in our environment, posing a potential health hazard.
The Belmont Auxiliary Police will have a collection point set up at the DPW Yard at 37 C St. on Saturday October 29th from 10:00AM – 2:00PM. Old or unused prescription drugs (No sharps or liquids) may be dropped off for free with no questions asked. You won’t even have to get out of your car. Please take some time to check your medicine cabinet and visit us on the 29th. For more information on the Take Back Initiative or a list of additional collection sites visit www.dea.gov or contact Lt. Santangelo at 617-993-2552 or rsantang@belmontpd.org
