On Saturday, April 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., DEA and its national and community partners will hold the second National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day at sites nationwide.
Addressing a vital public safety and public health issue, National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day gives the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. “The overwhelming public response to DEA’s first nationwide Take-Back event last fall not only rid homes of potentially harmful prescription drugs, but was an unprecedented opportunity to educate everyone about the growing prescription drug abuse problem,” said DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart.
The public can turn in unused prescription medications at the Bernards Township Police Headquarters, 1 Collyer Lane, Basking Ridge NJ on April 30 between 10 p.m. and 2 p.m.
