Operation Take Back New Jersey

The Washington Township Police Department will be hosting “Operation Take Back New Jersey” as a local collection site, as part of the Operation Take Back NJ medicine disposal day. The event will take place at Police Headquarters, located at 1 East Springtown Road, Long Valley, between the hours of 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM on Saturday April 26, 2014

This initiative is open to all residents, and was organized to encourage residents to properly dispose of their unused, unwanted and expired medicine. The goal of this program is allow residents of Califon Borough to rid their homes of these various medications, to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands, especially those of juveniles, and help protect the environment. The only items that will not be accepted are syringes and other sharp instruments.

This program is a statewide effort, with the majority of New Jersey Police Departments participating in it. It is being spearheaded by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) New Jersey Division, the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, the NY/NJ HIDTA, and the New Jersey National Guard. Califon Boro residents looking for additional information on the program should visit www.operationtakebacknj.com.
