The Danville Police Department will host the DEA National Drug Take Back Day Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Danville Toyota (125 Piedmont Pl.).
For more than a decade, the event has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to addiction.
Take Back Day offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at close to 5,000 local drop-off locations nationwide.
In partnership with local law enforcement agencies across the nation, Take Back Day has removed 9,285 tons of medication from circulation since its inception.
Collection sites will not accept syringes, sharps, and illicit drugs. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. The cap must be tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
