Unwanted medication take back day

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (D.E.A.) is coordinating, with the
Hanover Board of Health and the Hanover Police Department, a
nationwide one-day event to take back unwanted medications on
*Saturday, October 29, 2011 at the Hanover Senior Center, 665 Center
Street, Hanover, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.*

This national initiative will provide an opportunity for the public to
surrender pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications
to law enforcement officers for destruction. Expired, unused or
unwanted substances in our homes are a potential source of supply for
the increasing abuse of pharmaceutical drugs in the United States and
an unacceptable risk to public health and safety.

For more information, please contact the Board of Health at (781)
826-4611 or health@hanover-ma.gov
.
