Prescription Drug Take Back Update

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, effective immediately, the DEA is asking every American to secure their prescription opioids until they can be properly disposed.

Normally the DEA holds its National Prescription Drug Take Back Day twice a year. However, because of the current nationwide coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Spring Take Back Day, originally scheduled for April 25, is being postponed. DEA will reschedule the Take Back day for a date shortly after the health crisis recedes and national emergency guidelines are lifted. 

We will update you on our website and via our social media accounts as to the rescheduled date.
