National Prescription Drug Take Back Days Occur Twice A Year
– Spring and Fall

Mark your calendars! The next National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is April 30, 2022, from 10am-2pm at locations nationwide.

This event, which happens twice a year, is a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired prescription drugs at locations in communities throughout the country. 

Usually Take Back days occur in April and October each year. The events are a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired prescription drugs at locations in communities throughout the country and addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 9.7 million people misused prescription pain relievers, 4.9 million people misused prescription stimulants, and 5.9 million people misused prescription tranquilizers or sedatives in 2019. The survey also showed that a majority of misused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet. The Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths.  For more information visit https://takebackday.dea.gov/

Check back frequently for more information on the Take Back days, but if you have medication that you need to dispose of NOW check out locations in your county that maintain year round disposal sites.

Check DEA’s official Take Back Day website for more information.

In the Meantime … What Should You Do With Your Unused Meds?

Most people who misuse prescription drugs get them from family, friends, and acquaintances. You can make a difference by keeping track of the medicine you have, by rethinking where and how you keep your medications in your home, and by safely disposing of any unused medications.  Read more about ways to secure your meds and safely dispose of them at home.
