National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is being held on October 23rd. Although Redding Police are not hosting an official DEA collection site at the police department, they always have a collection box for unused/expired prescriptions available to residents daily.

Easton Police will be among the departments taking part in the collection event next month.  Residents can drop off unused prescription and over the counter medication from 10am-2pm in the front loop at Samuel Staples Elementary School. 

The Prevention Council of Putnam is encouraging people to take part in a prescription drug take back day on Saturday.  A drive up collection event is being held at Putnam County Sheriff’s Office in Carmel on Saturday.  The Council says this is an easy way to dispose of unwanted or expired medications to keep them out of the hands of kids, and out of waterways.
