For more than a decade, DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications — those that are old, unwanted, or no longer needed — that too often become a gateway to addiction. Working in close partnership with local law enforcement, Take Back Day has removed more than 15 million pounds of medication from circulation since its inception.
