On this day, individuals can safely dispose of unused or expired prescription medications at participating local pharmacies.

For more than a decade, National Prescription Drug Take Back Day has helped people across the United States rid their homes of unneeded or expired medications. The proper disposal of medications can save lives and contribute to keeping our environment and community safe and healthy.

Law enforcement officers will be on site to accept unwanted or expired pills, liquids, gels and patches outside stores (no medications will be accepted inside stores). Acceptance of liquids, gels and patches may vary by location.
