National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

Safely dispose of prescription and over-the-counter medications. The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.

Items not accepted at the event include:

• Syringes, needles or other sharps
• Inhalers, such as those for asthma
• Aerosol cans
• Mercury thermometers
• Iodine-containing medications
• Illegal drugs or substances (including marijuana which is still a schedule 1 drug under federal law), and any prescription medications obtained illegally.
