Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will provide another opportunity for consumers to dispose of unneeded and expired prescription drugs during the 7th DEA National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, October 26, 2013. On this day thousands of collection sites will be available across the country to accept unneeded prescription drugs, including controlled substances, for safe and legal disposal. Since 2010, DEA’s Take-Back Day initiative has collected a total of 2.8 million pounds (1,409 tons) of unneeded medications, helping to prevent diversion, misuse, and abuse of the drugs. More information about DEA Take Back Days, local medication disposal programs, and methods for safe home disposal of drugs is available in the “Find Disposal Information” section of the AWARxE^® Web site.
