NJARNG Teams Up with DEA for National TakeBack Day

Drug Enforcement Administration Agents in partnership with the New Jersey Army National Guard CounterDrug Task Force collect and dispose of prescription medication during Operation Take Back New Jersey, Oct 31 - Nov 1, 2022, Newark, New Jersey. Operation Take Back NJ is a biannual event that encourages residents to safely dispose of unused or expired medications consequence-free.

Since 1973 when the DEA declared war on the epidemic of drug overdoses nationwide, Take Back Days have helped communities in need to address public health, environmental, and nationwide security concerns by safely disposing of unused and expired medications.

There are 249 collection sites across the state and 232 Law Enforcement Agencies participated, helping provide a total of 16,065 lbs of unwanted prescription medications which were collected and disposed of at the Covanta Essex Resource Recovery Facility in Newark, NJ.
