The Northborough Police Department is participating in the DEA prescription drug take-back initiative on Saturday, April 24, 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. This will give residents the opportunity to surrender pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications to the police department for destruction. Drop off will be in the parking lot of 211 Main Street. COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place with drive through drop off available.
Prescription pain relievers, prescription stimulants and prescription tranquilizers or sedatives are the most commonly misused drugs. Often these drugs are obtained through family and friends.
