Drug Take Back Day Set for Oct. 26 in Nashua

Drug Take Back Day is happening Saturday, October 26 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., by the Nashua Police Department in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This one-day collaborative effort is a national program conducted with state and local law enforcement agencies to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from our nation’s homes.
Residents can turn over pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications to law enforcement officers for destruction. Expired, unused, or unwanted controlled substances in our homes are a potential source of supply for the increasing abuse of pharmaceutical drugs in the United States and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety.  The program is designed to help the citizens of this community dispose of their unused or out date prescription drugs in a safe and legal manner.

Drive through at the DPW garage located on Stadium Drive, Nashua. The garage itself is behind the Conway arena and beside Stellos Stadium right off of Riverside Dr. Traffic cones will be setup to direct traffic around the building and into a bay within the garage were the prescriptions will be dropped off. The prescriptions can be dropped off in the original containers and no questions asked.

If you have any questions concerning this program please contact Lt. David Bailey at 603-594-3591.
