The prescription medication disposal box is back in the lobby of the Watertown Police Station.
The big green box had been at the station a few years ago, but was removed because Police could not handle the volume of medication coming in. “Watertown residents are encouraged to drop off any unwanted prescription medications,” the Watertown Police Department announced. “Residents are kindly asked to place their prescription medications into the available sealable plastic bags prior to disposal. We also have a separate sharps container for the safe disposal of syringes.” The drop box and syringe disposal is part of the town’s effort to combat the influx of opioid abuse and addiction in town.
