Claremont Police Plan Drug Take Back on Saturday

Claremont police will collect unused and expired prescription drugs as part of Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday from 10 a.m 2 p.m.

The local effort is part of a national program by the Department of Justice. Authorities across the country will be collecting unused drugs on Saturday, Oct. 26.

The service is free and anonymous, with no questions asked.

Prescription drugs in the wrong hands can have deadly consequences and drugs flushed down the toilet pollute local water supplies.

Bring unused and expired prescription drugs in their original containers to the Claremont Police Department at 570 West Bonita Ave.
