National Drug Take Back Day

National Drug Take Back Day is an event that encourages people to safely dispose of unused or expired medications. It aims to reduce the risk of drug theft, misuse, and environmental harm by providing designated collection sites where medications can be dropped off anonymously and securely. This initiative helps prevent drugs from falling into the wrong hands and promotes community health and safety by ensuring proper disposal methods that protect our water supply and environment. It typically occurs twice a year and is supported by law enforcement, healthcare agencies, and community organizations.
