DEA Drug Take Back Day has been changed by COVID-19, too

Quinn told a reporter, “Our goal is to get opioids, especially, but any prescription medication that can be misused, out of homes when they’re not needed. It will be off the street and incinerated.” While the DEA Drug Take Back is an annual event, this year it takes on special meaning in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Andree Swanson is a DEA-St. Louis public information officer. “From the period of September 2019 to September 2020,” Swanson said, “the CDC indicates 29% more people died of overdose than in the year prior. That number is 2½ times higher than the number of people who died in car accidents.”

Des Moines: Anonymous, free prescription drug take-back event April 24

If your medicine cabinet is full of expired or unwanted medications, law enforcement officials across Iowa encourage you to safely dispose of them Saturday during National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. The bi-annual effort is held each April and October and has led to the collection of 7,000 tons of unwanted prescription and nonprescription medication since it was established by the Drug Enforcement Administration in 2010, according to a news release. This year there are at least a dozen sites in central Iowa where medications can be dropped Saturday. Most will be open between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., although some, including the Urbandale Police Department, will open at 8 a.m.
