Westtown-East Goshen Police Host Drug Take Back

The department will collect unused prescription drugs at Giant on Saturday.

Unused prescription drugs, the kind that might be sitting in your medicine cabinet as you read this, have come to be viewed by law enforcement as a liability. On Saturday, you can do something about it. 

According to chief William Cahill, the Westtown-East Goshen Police Department will once again participate in the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back program.

The collection will be held Saturday at the Giant Food Store at 1375 East Boot Road from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
