Since its inception in 2011, the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotic’s (OBN) Rx Take Back Program has provided citizens with safe and controlled ways to dispose of their unwanted, expired or extra prescription medications. The Program can either directly facilitate or help Oklahomans dispose of needles, opioids, unused antibiotics, and inhalers to prevent their abuse. For non-pill take backs, the program makes use of existing infrastructure created by partnered advocacy programs like the Oklahoma Harm Reduction Alliance (OKHRA). In the state of Oklahoma, the OBN operates 184 drug disposal boxes in seventy-seven counties and hosts take back events in various locations regularly. Each of the state’s take back boxes are secured in law enforcement agency offices to ensure safe and secure disposal.
