GET THE MEDS OUT PROGRAM SUSPENDEDI
In the Keeping In Touch 2011, the Health Department advertised a program that we offered in partnership with the UW- Extension to pick up a postage paid envelope that you can then put expired/unused medications in to mail to the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.  Since this publication, the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency has suspended their collection program pending some changes that are required by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency to Drug Collection Programs.  We do not have a timeline for when this program will be reinstated. 
We at the Health Department encourage our residents to please use the service that is still available through our Police Department.

NOTICE: EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2011, THE SELF DEPOSIT STATION WILL BE OPEN TUESDAY AND FRIDAY, 11:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M., AND SATURDAY 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
CLOSED MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY
