(Newark Post) Local police departments are once again partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration for a semiannual prescription drug take-back event.
The event is set for Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Newark Police Station, 220 S. Main St., and the University of Delaware Police Station, 413 Academy St.
Officials say the initiative helps prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription and non-prescription drugs.
The disposal sites cannot accept liquids, needles or sharps — only pills or patches. The service is free and anonymous, with no questions asked.
