THE DEA NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE BACK EVENT WILL BE HELD ON OCTOBER 28

The DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Event will be held on October 28.

For more than a decade, the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back event has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications, those that are old, unwanted, or expired that too often become a gateway to addiction, pose a risk for accidental poisonings, and prevents environmental health problems caused by improper medication disposal.
