Dispose of unused or expired medication during National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

April 18, 2022 - The 22nd National Prescription Drug Take Back Day will take place on Saturday, April 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office and The Mountain Home Police Department.

The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) began the initiative in 2010 to provide easy, anonymous opportunities to properly dispose of medications that are highly susceptible to misuse, abuse, and theft. This year, local law enforcement and prevention partners have organized Take Back Day collection site events across Idaho to provide their communities with accessible and convenient opportunities to drop off their unused or expired prescriptions.
