Prescription Drug Collection Planned This Spring In Kendall County

Press release from the Kendall County Government:

KENDALL COUNTY, IL — The Kendall County Coroner's Office is hosting a Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Kendall County Government Campus on John Street in Yorkville, IL (the drop off location is in front of the Richard A. Randall Public Safety Center at 1102 Cornell Lane).

This event is part of the DEA’s National Take Back Initiative and is being hosted in partnership with the Kendall County Sheriff's Office, the Oswego Police Department, the Plano Police Department, and the Yorkville Police Department.

In addition to prescription medications, this site will also accept used or unused medical sharps for destruction as well as unexpired diabetic supplies/medications for donation to Insulin For Life (IFL). IFL is a non-profit organization that directs donated supplies to help patients in over 74 developing nations.

Drop-offs will be collected in a drive-through area, and no information is collected from participants. This is a safe, anonymous, and quick method of disposing of expired, unused or unwanted medications.
