Drug Take Back
The Oct. 26 Drug Take Back pulled in 110.4 pounds of prescription and over the counter drugs, according to Putnam Police Captain Justin Lussier. Last April 170 pounds were dropped off. He said “The 110 is a little more on par with the usual.” Romeo Blackmar, left, Substance Abuse Program Director, Hale YMCA Youth and Family Center, said those coming through the drive-through were appreciative of the program. In addition to the twice-a-year drop off take back, there is a bin in the foyer of the Putnam Police Department that is available 24/7/365. Lussier said from January, 2021 to this month, that bin has taken in 931.4 pounds. At right is Putnam Police Sgt. Kevin Cardonne. Linda Lemmon photo.
