National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day - April 30

Hatfield Township Municipal Building
1950 School Road
Saturday, April 30, 2011
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The Hatfield Township Police Department is proud to be a participating member in a collaborative effort with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), state and local law enforcement, in the National Prescription Take-Back initiative.

The National Take-Back initiative provides an opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications for destruction. These drugs are a potential source of supply for illegal use and pose an unacceptable risk to public health and safety.

The event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 30th and is available free of charge to all area residents. This is a confidential and anonymous service. Prescription and over the counter medications accepted, i.e. solid dosage tablets, capsules, liquids/creams (in containers). Intra-venous solutions, injectables, and needles will not be accepted. Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this initiative.
