Over three and a half years these events have netted 1,700 tons of expired and unwanted drugs nationwide. In Seattle alone we collected over 600 pounds of drugs during one day.
This program helps address the public safety and health concerns over prescription medications that sit unused in cabinets nationwide. According to the DEA, more Americans died in 2010 from overdoses of prescription medications than from motor vehicle accidents. and surveys of drug users found the majority of abused prescription drugs are taken from family members and friends.
Help make your home and community safer by bringing your unwanted prescriptions to your local precinct on Drug Take-Back Day.
