National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
The drug overdose epidemic in the United States is a clear and present public health, public safety, and national security threat. DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day reflects DEA’s commitment to Americans’ safety and health, encouraging the public to remove unneeded medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction from ever starting.
DEA is committed to making our communities safer and healthier, and we can do this by reducing overdoses and overdose deaths. While the community does its part to turn in unneeded medications and remove them from potential harm, we are doing our part to further reduce drug-related violence.
Please do NOT flush unused prescription pills. Check with your local police and fire departments or local pharmacies to confirm where you can drop off unused drugs in your community, scan the QR code above, or use the Collection Site Locator below.
