The 20th National Prescription Drug Take Back day will be Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office, community partners and the Drug Enforcement Administration will provide the public with an opportunity to prevent medication abuse and theft by clearing out their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. The event is to raise awareness and help community members dispose of unused or expired prescriptions at locations all across the county, free, anonymously and with no questions asked.
“Very often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands that can result in tragedy. National Take Back Day provides hundreds of people the opportunity to clean out their medicine cabinets and dispose of prescriptions in a safe and anonymous manner” said Kelley Potter, HOPE Chautauqua DFC project director/coalition coordinator.

Highland Lakes residents can safely dispose of old and unused prescription drugs at the Marble Falls Police Department, 606 Avenue N, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 24, known nationally as Take Back Day, which the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration started 10 years ago to fight prescription drug abuse. According to research, the majority of abused prescription drugs come from the abuser’s family and friends.
Tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs will be collected. Liquids (including intravenous solutions), syringes, and illegal drugs will not be accepted.
