The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled a National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, October 28, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

These events are a great opportunity to return unwanted or expired prescription drugs, thereby reducing pollutant loadings into our waterways.

Since the DEA began organizing these take-back events in 2010, over 8 million pounds of unwanted and expired medications have been collected across the United States and several U.S. territories for safe disposal.
