Ditch the drugs this Saturday during National Take Back Day
Tuesday, October 22, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
This Saturday, Oct. 26, Travis County and the Drug Enforcement Administration will collect unwanted prescription drugs from the public as part of National Take Back Day. The day helps people safely dispose of expired, unused or unneeded medications in an effort to help make communities safer. According to a press release from the county, “the misuse and improper disposal of expired and unwanted drugs is a growing problem nationwide and also threatens local water supplies.” On Saturday, residents can drop off medications (barring syringes) anonymously and at no cost at any of the five Travis County Constable Precincts between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
