This biannual program is a collaborative effort between the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and law enforcement agencies nationwide. This day provides a safe, convenient, and anonymous way to dispose of unneeded or expired prescription medications, which helps to spread awareness and prevent drug misuse.
During the last take back in April, the DEA collected more than 11,000 pounds of prescription mediations from 99 collection sites, spanning across 30 law enforcement agencies in Maryland. This included more than 1,100 pounds from the Maryland State Police.
Maryland State Police urge citizens to drop off their prescription medications from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 25, at any of our State Police barracks—no questions asked. Maryland State Police barracks are equipped with secure drug collection boxes that are accessible year-round, 24/7. Find a location near you online here…
