*MEDIA ADVISORY*

Boxborough Police to Host “Shred-a-Thon” and Prescription Drug Take-back Event During Harvest Fair

BPD_poster2

BOXBOROUGH — Chief Warren B. Ryder reports that the Boxborough Police Department will host prescription drug takeback and unwanted document shredding stations during the town’s annual Harvest Fair.

“Unwanted prescriptions and documents that contain sensitive and personal information may not sound like they have a lot in common, but both can potentially make our residents targets for criminals,” Chief Ryder said. “By removing unwanted drugs and destroying documents that contain bank account and social security numbers, we are removing items from the home that don’t serve any purpose except. We are excited for our Shred-a-Thon and prescription drug takeback events, and we hope people will stop by!”

WHO:

Boxborough Police Department

WHEN:

Saturday, Sept. 10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

WHERE:

Boxborough Harvest Fair, held at:

Boxborough Town Hall
29 Middle Road
Boxborough, MA 01719

UCC Congregational Church
723 Massachusetts Ave.
Boxborough, MA 01719

WHAT:

Boxborough Police will accept unused, unwanted and expired prescription medications and will be offering free on-site document shredding at the Boxborough Harvest Fair on Saturday, Sept. 10 located at the Boxborough Town Hall and the UCC Congregational Church Grounds.

Improper disposal of sensitive documents can make residents easy targets for identity thieves who can open bank accounts and credit cards and take loans in a person’s name and ruin their credit.

Unwanted prescription drugs present a constant danger for residents: they can be stolen, confused for current prescriptions, or ingested by accident by children.

The department cannot accept needles or inhalers at the drug takeback stations, and metal (large paper clamps, 3 ring binders, hanging file folders) are not accepted by the shredders.
