Unused, Unwanted Prescription Pills Takeback in Hudson County

Hudson County

Hudson County Officials said on Saturday, October 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will provide the public the opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs during National Drug Take Back Day.

Bring your pills for disposal to three locations provided below.

- Jersey City – The Bethune Center, 140 MLK Drive (parking lot on Fulton between MLK Drive and Bergen Avenue)

- Bayonne – City Hall, 630 Avenue C (front of the building)

- North Bergen/Union City – Shoprite Pharmacy (parking lot), 3147 John F. Kennedy Boulevard.

At each of the three locations, a Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Mobile Unit will be on hand to collect prescription drugs. (Sites cannot accept liquids, needles, or sharps, only pills or patches.)

The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
