PIERRE, S.D. (KELO.com) – The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration National Take Back Day is an opportunity to safely and anonymously dispose of medications you no longer need.
Help reduce the risk of medication misuse and accidental poisoning.
Take Back Day is Saturday October 24th, starting at 10:00 AM.
You can find your collection site by heading to the DEA website and entering your zip code.
In Sioux Falls you will find the collection site at the Sioux Falls Police Department.
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day provides a safe, convenient, and anonymous way to dispose of unused or expired prescription medications, while raising awareness about the risks of opioid misuse and the dangers associated with other prescription drugs.
Twice a year, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) partners with local law enforcement agencies and pharmacies to collect leftover prescription and over-the-counter medication safely and responsibly.
