National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday (10/23) at the Morris Plains Stop & Shop.

The purpose of the twice-annual event is to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs so they don't end up in the wrong hands.

The service is free and anonymous. All pills will be accepted, but liquids, needles, and sharps won't be accepted during the event.

In addition, we have a drop box located inside the entrance of Borough Hall, so if you are busy on Saturday, you can properly dispose your prescription drugs anytime during business hours.
