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 thirteenth National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.
Held from 10 AM to 2 PM on Saturday, April 29, 2017, the event is 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.

You can participate 10 to 2 at any and all Indiana State Police posts.

Locally there is a box where you can drop off unwanted medications 24 hours a day located at the lobby of Washington Police Headquarters at the city hall building at Van Trees and Northeast 3rd.
