North Reading hosts prescription drug take-back event: ‘Don’t Be The Dealer‘

The North Reading Police Department, Community Impact Team, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are coming together to host the ‘Don’t Be The Dealer’ event, part of the DEA’s Prescription Take Back Program. The event will take place on Saturday, April 26, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at the O’Leary Senior Center, 157 Park Street, North Reading.

Residents are encouraged to bring their unused, expired, or unwanted prescription medications for safe and proper disposal. This initiative helps prevent prescription drug misuse, protects the environment, and ensures that medications do not fall into the wrong hands.

Why partake?

• Keep them safe - unused medication can be a danger in the wrong hands.

• Clean them out - proper disposal reduces the risk of misuse and accidental ingestion.

• Dispose of them properly - safe disposal prevents contamination of water supplies and landfills.

This event is free, anonymous, and open to all. No questions will be asked, and no personal information is required to drop off medications.

Join us in making North Reading and Reading safer communities - clean out your medicine cabinets and dispose of medications responsibly!
