Residents looking to safely dispose of unused or expired medications can drop off the drugs at Teaneck Police Headquarters Saturday and Sunday as part of a national effort to combat prescription drug abuse.
Drugs will be collected at the township police station from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days, according to the department. The Drug Enforcement Administration-led program is free and anonymous.
“Americans participating in DEA’s six previous Take-Back Days turned in nearly 2.8 million pounds—almost 1,409 tons—of prescription drugs,” the DEA said.
