The Hollis drug take-back event returns on Saturday, October 24, 2026, with document shredding and a food drive at the same stop. The Hollis Police Department will host the collection from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 9 Silver Lake Road. For residents with a growing paper pile, the newly announced date offers a useful deadline to get organized.
Hollis drug take-back: the October 24 details
The town posted its official event announcement on October 9. It invites people to bring unused medications, sensitive documents for free shredding, and nonperishable goods to donate.
- When: Saturday, October 24, 9 a.m.–1 p.m.
- Where: 9 Silver Lake Road, Hollis
- Organizer: Hollis Police Department
- Services: Drug take-back, document shredding and food collection
Sort the paper pile before you go
First, set aside a short block of time to review your papers. Make separate piles for records to keep, items to review and documents you have decided to shred. That way, you can avoid making a rushed decision while loading the car.
Next, keep your donation items separate from your documents. A simple checklist can help: confirm the event hours, gather the items you plan to bring and review the town notice again before leaving. If you are helping another household, let that person decide which records to keep.
Check acceptance details with the organizer
The short town announcement does not give quantity limits or detailed rules for medication types and paper materials. Therefore, ask the Police Department about any unusual items before bringing them. Keep those questions with your checklist rather than assuming every item can go into the collection.
Finally, save the Hollis drug take-back date where you will see it during the week. For another upcoming household collection, see our Hollis November 7 hazardous-waste guide. Check each event’s own rules before planning your trip.
