DEA

Drug Take Back Day is Saturday, April 30

Drug Take Back Day is Saturday, April 30
John Bobel
April 27, 2022

The Lexington Police Department is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and law enforcement agencies from across the country to host a National Prescription Take Back Day event on April 30, 2022 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Kentucky American Water located at 2300 Richmond Road.

Members of the public can dispose of unwanted or expired medication at the free, no-questions-asked disposal event.

Items accepted at Take Back Day:

  • prescription and over-the-counter pills
  • vitamins
  • medicated ointments and lotions
  • pet medication

Liquids, aerosol cans and needles are not accepted at Take Back Day.

Many pharmacies and hospitals offer permanent drop boxes where residents can dispose of prescription medication. For more information about Take Back Day and the disposal of prescription drugs, go to DEAtakeback.com or lexingtonky.gov/med-disposal.

Cleaning out your medicine cabinet could help prevent theft, drug abuse, and potentially save a life.
