Prescription Drug Take-Back Day

On Saturday, April 22, you have a chance to safely and anonymously dispose of any expired, unneeded or unwanted medications that you have. It is a National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day sponsored by the U.S. Department of Drug Enforcement (DEA). Twice each year, the DEA in partnership with local law enforcement hosts a National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.
