As a part of the Drug Enforcement Administration's National Prescription Take Back Initiative, the Natick Police Department will collect unused and unwanted prescription drugs later this month.

On April 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., residents may drop off their prescription pills in the rear parking lot of the Natick Police station. The goal of the program is to safely dispose of the pills and prevent them from getting into the hands of children or others who may want to use them illegally.

The NPD cannot accept any liquids, needles, injectables, epi-pens, ointments, creams, inhalers or patches.

Call 508-647-9516 with any questions.
