“The
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled another National
Prescription Drug Take-Back Day which will take place on Saturday, April 27,
2013, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
"This is a great opportunity for those who
missed the previous events, or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted,
unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications.
"In
the five previous Take-Back events, DEA in conjunction with our state, local,
and tribal law enforcement partners have collected more than 2 million pounds
(1,018 tons) of prescription medications were removed from circulation.
The
National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient,
and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the general public about
the potential for abuse of these medications.”
