National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day

April 26, 10am-2pm, at 1301 South Street
(LAFAYETTE POLICE TRAINING CENTER)
If you missed our last Medication Collection Event, here is another chance to get rid of that unwanted and unused medication.
Saturday (April 26th) from 10am to 2pm, the Lafayette Police Department will be partnering
with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to give the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous, expired,
unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.
The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.
Bring your medications for disposal to the Lafayette Police Training Center at 1301 South Street, Lafayette, IN.
The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. It should be noted the drug take back is for pills, capsules, and liquids only. No sharps will be accepted.
The usual methods for disposing of unused medicines (flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash) both pose potential safety, health, and environmental hazards.
