The Village Center will once again be a host site for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, October 29. A Montgomery County Police officer will be here to collect and safely dispose of your unwanted or expired prescription drugs.
The prescription drug take-back program, sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration, addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.
