The Indiana State Police are partnering with the Drug Enforcement Agency to host the 19th nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative on Saturday, Oct. 24.

The goal of the drug take-back event is to “prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of prescription drugs,” according to ISP.

To participate, bring your unwanted, unused, and expired prescription or over-the-counter medications to any Indiana State Police Post, except the Toll Road Post, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Oct. 24.

Needles, new or used, will not be accepted for disposal.

The drug collection is free and anonymous with no questions asked.
