National Prescription Drug Take-Back Initiative on April 30, 2016

The 11th annual DEA National Take-Back Initiative will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2016 between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. This program provides a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.

“The numbers are shocking—approximately 46,000 Americans die each year from drug-related deaths.  More than half of those are from heroin and prescription opioids,” said Acting DEA Administrator Chuck Rosenberg. [10/1/2015]
