Clean out those medicine cabinets! Get rid of old or unwanted medication during #TakeBackDay this Saturday, April 27th, 10am to 2pm. @North_Andover drop off locations are @NoAndoverPolice Station and First & Main Marketplace.

Don't let your unused or expired medications end up in the wrong hands.

Take Back Day is this Saturday, April 27th

10am to 2pm

North Andover Police Department, 1475 Osgood Street

First & Main Marketplace, 109 Main Street

The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.2 million Americans misused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet. The DEA’s Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths. Keep them safe. Clean them out. Take them back.

Drop-off your unused, unwanted, or expired prescriptions at one of our North Andover Drug Take Back Sites on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 10am-2pm:

Police Station Lobby (permanent site, kiosk available year round)
First & Main Market Place, CVS parking lot, 109 Main St.

Please note: no liquids or sharps accepted at these sites.*

According to the MA Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) 67,498 prescriptions for opioids were written in Essex County, MA from April 2018 – June 2018 alone…if these are in your home and you’re not using them…dispose of them!
