The Harding Township Police Department will be participating in the annual "NATIONAL TAKE-BACK INITIATIVE" program, to be held on Saturday April 26, 2014.  The program allows citizens to rid their homes of unused, unwanted or expired medications by turning these medications over to the Harding Township Police Department, who in turn, dispose of these substances in a safe and non-hazardous manner, preventing these pills from falling into the hands of juveniles or illicit market in communities.

A container for disposal will be placed in the lobby of the Harding Township Police Department, 21 Blue Mill Road, New Vernon, NJ (Municipal Building) from the hours of 10am – 2pm.  The program is anonymous; NO SYRINGES will be accepted; and it is suggested to remove personal information from containers. Individuals are able to deposit medications freely and independently.

Any questions, please contact Chief Mark Giansanti at 973-455-1371.
