About The Program
The Take Back Meds Program is a joint effort between local pharmacies, law enforcement, as well as government agencies to provide residents with safe, convenient access to proper medicine disposal. Take Back Meds includes many local pharmacies and law enforcement agencies accepting your unwanted medications.
Disposing of your medicines at one of these locations will ensure that your medicines will not be stolen from the garbage, will not enter our environment and deters abuse and overdoses at home.
