Turn In Unneeded Prescription Drugs

Drop-Off Locations Around the Area on Saturday

Got Drugs? The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is holding its National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, September 27th. Hundreds of drop off locations will be set up so you can anonymously bring your unused and unwanted prescription and over the counter medications for safe disposal.
