PROGRAMS & EVENTS: Drug Take Back Program
We work closely with the Hartford Police Department in support of the National Prescription Drug Take Back Days to promote safe disposal of unused prescription medications.
-
The next National Take Back Day is October 26, 2024. Please drop your meds at the Hartford Police Department 24/7 drop box in the lobby. *This is a change from previous Take Back Days.* They will be accepting unused pills in their original containers, liquid medications, devices like epi-pens and vapes, and will have a sharps receptacle this year.
-
HCC provides Deterra pouches which allow for safe, at-home disposal of medications and some devices. We also have medication lock boxes. Please reach out if you would like one or both of these.
Safely mail-in your unused prescriptions. Get an envelope and more information here.
