The Hopkinton Police Department announced a new program offered by the MED-Project (Medication Education & Disposal) allowing residents to properly dispose of prescription drugs by requesting a free, prepaid mail-back envelope sent directly to their home.

For more information, visit MED-Project.org/MA or call 844-633-7765.

Residents also can visit the station and dispose of unwanted medication in the lobby drug box.

The next DEA National Drug Take Back day is scheduled for Oct. 24 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
