5th annual National Drug Take Back is Saturday
CAPE COD -On Saturday, the US Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Fifth National Prescription Drug Take Back Day will be held. The drug take back initiatives give the public the opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, or unwanted prescription drugs. Collection sites are open Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The program is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Needles and Epi-pens will not be accepted. Names and labels may be removed from packaging. All liquid medications should be in sealed containers.
The DEA’s four previous Take-Back Days turned in nearly 1.6 million pounds,—almost 774 tons—of prescription drugs, at almost 5,700 sites operated by nearly 4,300 of the DEA’s local law enforcement partners. DEA’s last event collected more than double the pills as their first event two years ago, with almost 50% more participating agencies and sites this past April than in September of 2010.
Medications that languish in homes create a public health and safety concern because they are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse.
The following police departments have confirmed they are taking part in the program. (check here for updates to the list),
