Prescription Drug Drop-Off Saturday

The Haddonfield Police Department, in cooperation with the National Take Back Initiative, will once again be participating in Operation Take Back New Jersey.

It allows for safe, anonymous disposal of prescription drugs.

The event is scheduled for this Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the lobby of the Haddonfield Police Department (rear entrance of the ).

The individual may dispose of medication either in its original container or by removing medication from its container and disposing directly into the drug disposal box.

The police suggest removing any prescription labels before dropping off drugs. Liquid products, such as cough medicine, should remain sealed in their original container.

The depositor should ensure that the cap is tightly sealed to prevent leakage. Syringes and other sharp instruments will not be accepted.
