National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

Saturday (10/27) is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, which addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.2 million Americans misused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.

Collect and dispose of your unused/expired prescription drugs today (and every day) by visiting the disposal unit at the Irvington Police Department.
