National Prescription Drug Take-back Campaign This Saturday

Thanks to the LNT Crime Watch for forwarding this message along:

This Campaign is an effort to limit the accessibility to our children of unused or expired prescription drugs in your medicine cabinets.  Please pass this message to your relatives, friends, and neighbors.  

Lower Nazareth Township Crime Watch 

As part of DEA’s effort to combat rising prescription drug abuse, we are spearheading the first-ever National Prescription Drug Take-back campaign, which will take place at more than 3,700 locations across the country this Saturday, September 25th, from 10 am to 2 pm.

We are asking all Americans to empty their family medicine cabinets of unwanted or expired prescription drugs, and bring them to one of our collection sites for environmentally safe and legal disposal… no questions asked.

Acting Administrator Michele M. Leonhart is scheduled to appear on a number of major morning shows this Friday, including NBC’s Today Show, and Fox and Friends, to deliver DEA’s take-back message directly to the American people.

DEA is also running a national media campaign to promote the Rx take-back initiative that includes TV and radio spots, newspaper ads, billboards and transit advertising in markets all over the country.

Please help DEA communicate this important message by telling your friends, family, and community members about this event and encouraging their participation. 

We urge everyone to consult DEA.gov or their local DEA office to find out how the National Prescription Drug Take-back will be rolled out in their communities, and where they can go to dispose of their unwanted medications.

Thank you for doing your part to fight drug abuse, and for your active participation in the National Prescription Drug Take-back on Saturday.
