Rid your home of unused and unneeded medications and more.
This weekend, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) offers residents a chance to get rid of pills, cough syrup, and other unwanted medications that have been piling up around their homes during the eleventh National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.
Held from 10 AM to 2 PM on Saturday, the event is one of the few days of the year where residents can drop off expired or unused prescription medications without having to wonder whether they will be accepted—even controlled substances, such as ADHD drugs, are taken. This program WILL NOT ACCEPT NEW OR USED NEEDLES. The collection is intended for liquid and pill medications only.
All Indiana State Police posts will be participating. Your local law enforcement or fire department may be having drop off points. You can call your local departments to find out more.
