The City of Everett and the Everett Police Department periodically participate in National Prescription Drug Take-Back efforts, which provide residents with a safe and convenient way to dispose of unused or expired medications. These initiatives are part of a nationwide effort to reduce the misuse of prescription drugs and promote public health and safety.
Everett, like many communities across Massachusetts, has been impacted by the opioid epidemic. Prescription drug take-back opportunities help prevent medication misuse, protect the environment, and educate the public about the importance of proper disposal.
Residents are also encouraged to take advantage of year-round medication drop-off options at designated locations, including the Everett Police Department and the Everett Health Department during regular City Hall hours.
For more information about prescription drug disposal and national take-back efforts, residents can visit www.dea.gov or contact the Everett Police Department.
