COLORADO, USA — National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day takes place Saturday, April 30.
Police departments, health departments, hospitals, pharmacies and grocery stores across Colorado will participate in the disposal of unwanted and unused medications.
The goal of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is to ensure the environmentally-safe disposal of prescription medicines and to reduce the likelihood of drug misuse or abuse.
During the event last April, Denver Police Department (DPD) collected more than 1,450 pounds of unwanted medicines.
Drug Take-Back Day is a no-questions-asked program and drop offs are completely anonymous. For more information on the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, visit takebackday.dea.gov.
