DEA National Take Back Initiative Day:
On September 25, 2010, DEA will coordinate a collaborative effort with state and
local law enforcement agencies to remove potentially dangerous controlled
substances from our nation's medicine cabinets. Collection activities will take
place from 10 am-2 pm. The National Take-Back Day provides an opportunity for the public to
surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and
other medications for destruction. These drugs are a potential source of supply
for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety.
