Medication Takeback Day

Description

Dispose of your medications safely at Medication Takeback Day at the Cambridge Senior Center.

The Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD), Cambridge Police Department, and Cambridge Council on Aging are hosting a Medication Takeback Event on April 22 from 1 to 3 p.m. Personnel will be available on-site in the lobby to accept unwanted or unused prescriptions, over-the-counter meds, and vitamins. Sharps and liquids will NOT be accepted. All ages are welcome.

If you’re unable to make it to this event, you have several other options for safely disposing of your old medications. The Police Department is always able to accept anonymous medication deposits at their 125 6th Street location. The City also has free prescription mailers, envelopes designed to safely transport your medications to a disposal center. These mailers will be available at the event and are also available from CPHD, 119 Windsor St., Cambridge.
