Thirty-five locations across Montgomery County will serve as drop-off locations for Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 22, 2023. All locations will be staffed by police officers during the event.
Over 108,000 pounds of unused prescription and over-the-counter medicines and pills have been collected in Montgomery County since the drug disposal program began in 2010. The aim of the program is to make Montco homes safer in order to prevent overdoses and accidents, while also providing a method for residents to safely dispose of these unwanted, expired medications. The program is a partnership with the Montgomery County Police Chiefs Association and the District Attorney’s Office.
Accepted throughout the year at permanent MedReturn boxes are
prescription and over-the-counter tablets and capsules, inhalers, creams,
ointments, nasal sprays, pet medicines and vaping products.
Not accepted are
needles, liquid meds and intravenous/injectable solutions.
