Drug Take Back Day is a bi-annual event organized by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired prescription medications. This initiative aims to prevent drug misuse and reduce the risk of accidental overdoses by removing unneeded medications from homes and communities. This year the official date is October 25th, 2025.
