Drug Take Back Box Update
We are pleased to announce that the permanent drug box to collect unused prescription drugs for New Milford residents has arrived at the Police Department. It will not be open to the public yet, but we’re hoping that within the next 2 weeks it will be up and ready. This box will help eliminate dangerous unused drugs that are lying around our communities homes.
