October 29 is Drug Take-Back Day
On Saturday, October 29, the Michigan State Police (MSP) is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and other law enforcement agencies for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.
All 30 MSP posts will participate in the one-day ?Take-Back? effort from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. by serving as drop-off points for Michiganders to discard expired, unused and unwanted pills, which will be destroyed. No liquids, inhalers, patches, or syringes are accepted.
Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. Further, disposing of unused medicines by flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash can pose environmental and health hazards.
If you can?t make it on Saturday, all MSP posts accept unwanted pills weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (except holidays).
MSP collection sites can be found at Michigan.gov/MSPposts. [ [link removed] ]
