On Saturday, October 26th, 2013, the East Hampton Police Department and Local Prevention Committee will be participating with the Drug Enforcement Agency, (DEA) in a nationwide Take-Back Initiative of pharmaceutical substances and other medications.  This national initiative will provide the public an opportunity to surrender pharmaceutical substances and other medications to law enforcement for destruction.

The drop off location will be in the upper parking lot of the East Hampton Town Hall, 20 East High Street, East Hampton from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.  The drop off medications can be made anonymously with no questions asked.  The last Take-Back Initiative was very successful with over 60 pounds of medication turned in for destruction.  If there are any questions about this event please contact the East Hampton Police department at (860) 267-9544.
