National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

The 26th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is Saturday, April 27th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) began the initiative in 2010 to provide easy, anonymous opportunities to properly dispose of medications that are highly susceptible to misuse and theft. This year, local law enforcement, community coalitions, and prevention partners have organized Take Back Day collection site events across Idaho to provide their communities with accessible and convenient opportunities to drop off their unused or expired prescriptions.
