San Joaquin County Medication Disposal

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

Unused or expired prescriptions in your home can end up lost, stolen, or misused. Improper disposal of medication and other pharmaceutical waste can also have significant adverse effects on our drinking water.

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day takes place twice a year in April and October. Take Back Day is an opportunity to turn in your unused or expired medications for safe and free disposal, no questions asked. For upcoming dates and locations, visit: takebackday.dea.gov/
