National Drug Takeback Day Planned By National Association of Attorneys General
In a different but complementary effort to reduce the risks and problems caused by the accumulation of unused prescription drugs, the DEA has
initiated a collaborative effort to organize a nationwide day for collection of unused prescription medications on Sept. 25. The national “takeback day” will allow people who want to get rid of unwanted prescription drugs to comply with the law because DEA expects a multitude of state and local law enforcement authorities to participate in programs. The hope is for state Attorneys General to encourage local law enforcement to participate in the nationwide initiative. To further the planning for the national event, DEA expects to contact state Attorneys General in the near future.
