On Saturday, October 28th, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. NPD and the Drug Enforcement Administration will host DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day at locations across the country. DEA and its partners will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs.
For more than a decade, the event has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to addiction. They also pollute our waterways when not disposed of properly. Do not flush any medication. Bring it to this event to help keep your family members safe and the environment clean.
Take Back Day offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at more than 4,000 local drop-off locations nationwide.
