National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Set for Saturday


As reported by WDTV, The Drug Enforcement Administration, in coordination with more than 4,400 law enforcement partners across the country, will host the 28th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 26th.


 


The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offers communities across the United States a safe, convenient and anonymous way to dispose of unneeded prescription medications.


 

With nearly 4,500 collection sites nationwide, Take Back Day aims to reduce the risk of prescription drug misuse by helping Americans safely remove expired, unwanted, or unused medications from their homes — medications that might otherwise be misused, officials said.


 


In Clarksburg, medications can be dropped off at Walmart, Kroger, the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center or the Clarksburg Police Department. The Bridgeport Police Department is also a collection site, along with the Public Safety Building in Fairmont.
