National Prescription Drug Take Back Day an opportunity to dispose of unwanted meds
Apr. 21—A number of locations in Northeast Pennsylvania counties will accept unwanted, unneeded or expired medications Saturday, National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., people can bring those medications to collection sites staffed by law enforcement and other authorized collectors for safe disposal. The event helps reduce prescription drug misuse. Most collection sites accept capsules, creams, inhalers, non-aerosol sprays, ointments, patches, pills and vials.
To find a nearby collection site, use the federal Drug Enforcement Administration's online locator at dea.gov/takebackday#collection-locator.
