This Saturday, April 30th, is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.
America’s substance misuse crisis is a public safety and public health emergency that threatens the well-being of individuals who misuse drugs as well as their families, communities, and, ultimately, the nation.
Spread the word to your friends & family by sharing and using the #TakeBackDay hashtag to promote the proper disposal of unneeded prescription medications, including in-person collection sites on April 30th!
Visit DEATakeBack for a collection site near you.
