DEA Take Back Day for prescription drugs is April 24

With opioid overdose deaths increasing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration announced that its 20th prescription drug Take Back Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 24.

At its most recent Take Back Day in October, the DEA collected a record amount of expired, unused prescription medications, with the public turning in close to 500 tons of unwanted drugs. With studies indicating that a majority of abused prescription drugs come from family members and friends, including from home medicine cabinets, clearing out unused medicine is essential, the DEA says.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States saw an acceleration in overdose deaths during the first months of the pandemic last year.

During Take Back Day, the public can drop off potentially dangerous prescription medications beginning at 10 a.m. at collection sites that will adhere to local COVID-19 safety guidelines and regulations. To find a site or learn more, visit deatakeback.com or call (800) 882-9539.
