Dispose of expired or unused medication to keep people and pets safe

Keeping unused or expired medications at home can be unsafe for children, pets, and adults. Whether accidental poisoning or intentional misuse, you can prevent these potential harms by safely disposing of prescription drugs you no longer need. To provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, Somerville is hosting two staffed events for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day offering drop-off services and more.
