Bucks Co. Drug Take Back Day 2020: Find The Location Nearest You

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Bucks County will be observing National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Oct. 24.

There will be 46 sites throughout the county open from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. for people to safely dispose of unused and unneeded medications.

Officials call medication just sitting around a safety issue, saying that more than half the people who abuse prescription pain relievers get the drugs from friends or relatives. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs are considered the most commonly misused substances by Americans 14 and older, after marijuana and alcohol.

Also, safety officials say, when drugs are flushed down the toilet, filters may not remove all of the chemicals.

Drop-off sites will be accepting:

• Prescription and over-the-counter solid medications like tablets and capsules
• Liquid medications, inhalers, creams, ointments, nasal sprays
• Pet medications
• Vaping devices, cartridges, pods and e-liquids (please remove batteries)

They will not accept:

• Injectables and needles
• Illicit substances
