In partnership with Bissell Pharmacy and the Ridgefield Prevention Council, the Ridgefield Police Department is announcing their participation in a prescription drug take-back initiative to promote the proper disposal of medications.
On Saturday October 22nd from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm, potentially dangerous, unused and unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medications will be collected at Bissell Pharmacy located at 23 Governor St. The take-back will be set up so that people wishing to dispose of medications will not have to exit their vehicles. This service is free and completely anonymous. All medications that are collected as part of this initiative are taken to an incineration facility by Officers of the Ridgefield Police Department for destruction.
Please note: While you're dropping off your unwanted drugs, keep in mind that Bissell Pharmacy is offering flu shots! If you are a Town of Ridgefield employee, the pharmacy will exempt you from paying any co-pay.
The Ridgefield Police Department would like to thank Bissell Pharmacy and the Ridgefield Prevention Council for taking part in this initiative and sharing the same commitment to keep this community safe.
