DEA Heads First-Ever Nationwide Prescription Drug Take-Back Day – Â National Take-Back Initiative
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and government, community, public health, and law enforcement partners are holding a nationwide prescription drug “take-back” day. On September 25, 2010, collection sites around the country will take any expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs for safe, legal, and environmentally friendly disposal.
I checked my zip code the closest locations were at least a 40 minute drive. Which is surprising that the county I live in does not have a location and it is not a remote area. I doubt I would drive that far for a couple bottles of pills, if I had any to discard. Maybe they are continuing to add locations.

We participated in this. After playing the medication game trying to figure out which meds my daughter needed we had quite the collection. I always keep all medications locked up in a safe that is bolted in my pantry but it was so full we couldn’t find anything. I have heard that many police stations and/or city offices are offering this service all the time, you may want to ask.
