Gaithersburg Police Department Participates in Prescription Drug Take Back

 

On Saturday, May 2, 2015 the Gaithersburg Police Department and other allied law enforcement agencies will give residents an opportunity to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your unused medications for disposal to the Gaithersburg Police Station located at 14 Fulks Corner Avenue between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. No liquids or syringes will be accepted. The service is free, anonymous, and there will be no questions asked.

There are nine drop-off locations in Montgomery County. Others in the Gaithersburg area include Montgomery County’s 1st District Police Station at 100 Edison Park Drive and the 6th District Police Station at 45-A West Watkins Mill Road. In addition, since June of 2014 a Prescription Drop Box has been available in the Gaithersburg Police Department lobby, accessible throughout the year from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Good Thursday morning Roy Kelley and Ms. Dolores.  This is a great program.  Albuquerque does the same thing and it's amazing the huge amount of drugs that are turned in.

Good morning, Roy -- safety matters!  This is a good reminder that the proper disposal of prescription drugs is very important.  This type of service is available in our community but it is still an issue with people who say they don't know.   Awareness and compliance is key.

This is a terrific program for Gaithersburg to offer. Getting rid of prespcription meds needs to be correctly to avoid contamination or others getting hold of them.

Definitely a worthwhile event, as prescription drugs can be very harmful if not used properly.

I need to find one of these near me. We never finish pain medications and there needs to be a safe way to get rid of them.

Many of the prescription drugs are causing a lot of addiction problems in our country. I sure hope folks turn in these dangerous drugs to keep them out of the hands of young people, or...

Good Monday morning to all. We have another beautiful day in Maryland. Dolores is heading to the golf course as I wait for the house and fence painters to arrive.

Have an outstanding week!
