Medication Take Back Programs
What is a medication take back program?
Medicine take-back programs are a good way to safely dispose of most types of unneeded medicines. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) periodically hosts National Prescription Drug Take-Back events where collection sites are set up in communities nationwide for safe disposal of prescription drugs.
Benefits of medication take backs include:
- Reduce drug abuse
- Reduce accidental poisoning
- Reduce environmental harm
