As part of its Operation Medicine Cabinet, the Southampton Town Police Department is encouraging people to take unwanted, unused, and/or expired medications to its drug take-back day on Saturday.

People can drop off drugs, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications, lotions or creams, and pet medications, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at one of three locations: the police substation at the Bridgehampton Commons, the Hampton Bays Community Center, or the Flanders Community Center.

"Sharps" such as needles, along with liquids, thermometers, and other types of waste, are not accepted. The Police Department can be phoned at 631-702-2254 for more information.
