The Indiana State Police is participating in a nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” Initiative this weekend.
October 22nd will mark the 12th annual event for individuals to dispose of their prescription medications in a safe, no questions asked environment. The initiative is being sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) with disposal sites set-up across the country. The Indiana Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force is also participating.
State Police say they will have locations for drop-offs on Saturday at each of their posts, including the Bremen Post in Marshall County. The toll road location will not be participating for safety reasons. State Police will also have a location in Indianapolis on Friday.
According to information provided by organizers of the “Prescription Drug Take Back” Initiative, liquid and pill medications will be accepted. Needles used for certain treatment programs will not be accepted.
Indiana residents may drop-off their medication between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
