Though the Wareham Police Department does drug take backs every day, they see more volume on National Prescription Take Back Day, hosted on Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

"We have it every day, just today is a little bit more," said Officer Ashley O'Brien.

There is a disposal for pills in the police station open to residents every day of the week. No liquid medications are accepted.

The goal of National Take Back Day is to prevent misuse of prescription drugs in households. There were more than 5,000 collection sites nationwide participating in the event.
