April 27 is Prescription Drug Take Back Day

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is held biannually, on the last Saturdays of April and October, to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential misuse of medications.

When can I take them back?

The next Take Back Day will be held on Saturday, April 27, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. On this day and every day, Washingtonians are encouraged to dispose of their unneeded or expired prescription medications.

Where can I take or send them?

To find a location near you, visit medtakebackwashington.org. You can also request a mail-back package to dispose of unwanted medications, inhalers, and injectors.
