The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled another National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, September 27, 2014, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This event is a great opportunity to return unwanted or expired prescription drugs, thereby reducing pollutant loadings into our waterways. Visit http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/ or call 1-800-882-9539 for more information, including the collection site locator database.
Since the DEA began organizing these take-back events in 2010, more than 4.1 million pounds of unwanted and expired medications have been collected across the United States and several U.S. territories for safe disposal.
