Unwanted Prescription Drug Collection Saturday

If you have prescription drugs that are expired or no longer needed, turn them in for free Saturday at several nearby locations listed below.

The drug collection is sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). No questions will be asked.

The MVPD suggests consolidating the medications for example pouring all pills into one zip-loc-type bag and recycling the empty the bottles at home. The collection will accept liquid medication in a tightly sealed container.

Intra-venous solutions, injectibles, and syringes will not be accepted.

Last September, Americans turned in 244 tons of prescription drugs at over 5,000 collection sites. In its five previous Drug Take Back events, the DEA and its partners took in over 2 million pounds of pills.
