National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is an initiative held twice a year in the United States to encourage people to safely dispose of unused or expired medications. Organized by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the event promotes public health and safety by preventing accidental overdoses, misuse, and environmental harm from improper disposal. During this day, community locations provide secure drop-off points for individuals to return their medications without any questions asked. This helps reduce the risk of prescription drugs falling into the wrong hands while ensuring these substances are disposed of safely and responsibly.
