National Drug Take Back Initiative Day April 30

The Piscataquis Public Health Coalition is again supporting National Drug Take Back Initiative Day on Saturday, April 30. This day is a time that people can bring unwanted or unused prescription medications to any local police department in Piscataquis County and have the items disposed of for free with no questions asked.

This event is a once a year event that in 2015 brought in over 400 pounds of unwanted or unused drugs. For more information, please contact Piscataquis Public Health Coalition Community Health Promotion Specialist Hillary M. Starbird at 564-4184 or hstarbird@mayohospital.com.
