Safe Medicine Disposal - Sept 25
On September 25, 2010, DEA will coordinate a collaborative effort with state and local law enforcement agencies to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from our nation’s medicine cabinets. Collection activities will take place from 10:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m. at sites established throughout the country. The National Take-Back Day provides an opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications for destruction. These drugs are a potential source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety. To find out more about this program and to search for the collection location nearest you, go to http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/takeback. Only law enforcement agencies can participate. If your local police / sheriff’s department is not participating, you may wish to encourage them to do so.
