<p>BOXBOROUGH &mdash; Chief Warren B. Ryder reports that the Boxborough Police Department will host prescription drug takeback and unwanted document shredding stations during the town&#39;s annual Harvest Fair.</p>

<p>&quot;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,&quot; Chief Ryder said. &quot;By removing unwanted drugs and destroying documents that contain bank account and social security numbers, we are removing items from the home that don&#39;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!&quot;&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WHO:</strong></p>

<p>Boxborough Police Department</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WHEN:</strong></p>

<p>Saturday, September 10th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM</p>

<p><strong>WHERE:</strong></p>

<p><u>Boxborough Harvest Fair</u>, held at:</p>

<p><strong>Boxborough Town Hall</strong><br />
29 Middle Road<br />
Boxborough, MA 01719</p>

<p><strong>UCC Congregational Church</strong><br />
723 Massachusetts Ave.<br />
Boxborough, MA 01719</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WHAT:</strong></p>

<p>Boxborough Police will accept&nbsp;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.</p>

<p>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&#39;s name and ruin their credit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Unwanted prescription drugs present a constant danger for residents: they can be stolen, confused for current prescriptions, or ingested by accident by children.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>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.&nbsp;</em></p>
