National Drug Take Back Day – Saturday, April 26th,

April 18, 2025 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

The Halifax Police Department, in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), is hosting a drug take back event at the Halifax Police Station, 540 Plymouth St., Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This event allows residents or any member of the public to discard medications or prescription drugs in a safe and secure environment.
Acceptable forms of medications that may be discarded include tablets, capsules, patches, and any other solid forms of medication. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container and be tightly sealed to prevent leakage. Syringes, sharps, and illicit drugs will not be accepted during the collection event.
For more than a decade, this event has helped Americans easily purge their homes of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to addiction.
Take Back Day offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at close to 5,000 local drop-off locations nationwide and has removed 9,285 tons of medication from circulation since its inception.
For questions, please contact the Halifax Police Department by calling (781) 294-8713 or e-mailing Chief Chaves at Chief@police.halifax.ma.us or Deputy Chief Benner at TBenner@police.halifax.ma.us.
