Special to The Citizen
The Berlin Police Department will conduct the sixth annual “Take Back” initiative sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Agency Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The initiative seeks to remove expired or unused prescription drugs from homes. Residents can drop off unwanted drugs at a curbside box at Town Hall, 240 Kens-
ington Road, without getting out of their vehicles. “It removes prescription drugs in households away from children,” Berlin Police Sgt. John McCormack said. The DEA warns that drugs left unused in homes can result in abuse and can be accidentally ingested by children. Accidental poisonings and overdoses are at alarming rates nationwide.
