Medication Takeback Day

Description

Think about your medicine cabinet at home. Is it full of old prescriptions you never finished? Old vitamins and over-the-counter meds that sit unused? Safe medication disposal protects your family and the environment. Rather than throwing meds in the trash or flushing them, let the city help you get rid of them!

The Cambridge Public Health Department, the Cambridge Police Department, and the Cambridge Council on Aging are coming together to host a special medication “Takeback” event at the Cambridge Senior Center, 806 Massachusetts Avenue, on Monday, October 20 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Personnel will be available on-site in the lobby to accept unwanted or unused prescriptions, over-the-counter meds, and vitamins. Sharps, liquids, and creams/ointments will NOT be accepted.
