What: National Prescription Drug Take Back Day When: Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Where: Westport Center for Senior Activities, 21 Imperial Avenue In partnership with local law enforcement, Take Back Day has removed 19.2 million pounds (9,600 tons) of medication from circulation since its inception. Residents are also reminded there is a year-round collection bin located in the lobby of police headquarters, so drugs can be properly disposed of at any time rather than waiting for designated collection dates.
