National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day: Saturday, April 26, 2025
Every day, more than 130 Americans die after overdosing on opioids. As the prescription opioid epidemic continues to worsen, 华体会 is working alongside the Drug Enforcement Administration to host collection sites for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. The event aims to provide a safe, convenient and responsible way to dispose of unused opioids and other prescription medications, while also educating the general public about the potential for misuse of medications.
Unused medications thrown in the trash can be retrieved and abused, or illegally sold. If they are flushed, they can contaminate the water supply. Proper disposal of unused drugs saves lives and protects the environment.
Naloxone training and distribution is provided at all collection sites.
Please note, sharps and liquids will not be accepted, and Take Back Day is for community members, not for commercial organizations.
