Augusta, ME – The Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office will participate in the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, October 25, offering residents a safe and confidential way to dispose of unused or expired medications.
The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office, located at 73 Winthrop Street, Augusta.
This initiative aims to help prevent prescription drug misuse and keep harmful medications out of the wrong hands and the environment. Deputies will be on-site to accept unneeded pills — no questions asked.
The Sheriff’s Office reminds residents:
- Keep them safe. Clean them out. Take them back.
- Only bring prescription and over-the-counter pills (no liquids, needles, or sharps).
