How many times a year do you think you get prescription meds? Now think about how often those pills go unused.
I can t be the only one. It seems like every spring I find at least 3 bottles of unused prescription pills that were for me and about 4 more for my wife. Could you imagine what would happen if those pills somehow got into the wrong hands? Of course, no one goes around just handing out their unused pills, but they can easily be lost or even stolen.

DEA Announces 20th Take Back Day Written by Fairfield CARES
Fairfield, CT - With opioid overdose deaths increasing during the pandemic, the Drug Enforcement Administration announces its 20th Take Back Day is scheduled for April 24th. At its last Take Back Day in October, DEA collected a record-high amount of expired, unwanted, and unused prescription medications, with the public turning in close to 500 tons of unwanted drugs. Over the 10-year span of Take Back Day, DEA has brought in more than 6,800 tons of prescription drugs. With studies indicating a majority of abused prescription drugs come from family and friends, including from home medicine cabinets, clearing out unused medicine is essential.
