Safely Dispose of Prescription Medications Saturday

If you've been looking to get rid of expired or unused prescription medications that have been accumulating in your medicine cabinet, you can do so safely on Saturday.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, outdated prescription medications are being collected by both Westwood and Washington Township police as part of the third Annual National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. headquarters is located at 101 Washington Ave. and headquarters is at 350 Hudson Ave.

The program, which takes place every six months, is coordinated by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Office of Diversion Control, and ultimately hopes to provide a year-round system and outreach program for removing idle prescriptions from homes.
