Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood residents are invited to clean out their medicine cabinets safely and anonymously at Ridgewood Police Headquarters on October 27, 2018 from 10am – 2pm.  Concerning this event, The United States Government, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) website states: “The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue.
