National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day April 28

Unused prescription drugs can be a danger to everyone in your home, but it can be difficult to dispose of drugs without harming the environment. The DEA is hosting another National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day all across the nation on April 28. At the last event in November, the DEA collected nearly 200 tons of expired or unused drugs. If you're a law enforcement department interested in hosting an event, call the DEA point of contact for your area. The DEA has downloadable posters and other materials to help you host an event.


If you would like to turn in unneeded, unused or expired drugs, call 1-800-882-9539 to find the take-back site closest to you.
