Prescription Drugs Take-Back Day

The Take-Back Program gives the public the opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.


Residents are encouraged to drop off any and all unused prescription and over the counter medications and are being asked to blacken out or remove personal information on any pill bottles; please leave the name of the medication if possible. If the pills are not in bottles, medication should be placed in a sealed plastic bag. This service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.


In addition to these events, permanent prescription drug take-back kiosks are located at both the Holden Police Department and the Millbury Police Department.
