The DEA’s next National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is on Saturday, October 26, 2024 – 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., across the state! Georgia citizens have 2 options on how to participate in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. The 2 options are:
Use a “Drive Up Location” on October 26 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. To locate a participating DEA National Take Back Initiative “Drive Up Location” please click on this link – https://takebackday.dea.gov/. Note: These sites may or may NOT include the 246 Drug Drop Boxes outlined in #2.
Your second option is to use one of the more than 246 Drug Drop Boxes across the state in your local law enforcement or pharmacy-maintained drug drop box. PLEASE be aware that the DEA website DOES NOT list all the Drug Drop Boxes across the state therefore to locate the nearest Drug Drop Box location visit this website: http://prescriptiondrugdisposal.com/.
Also, if you know of a Drug Drop Box that is not in the Directory please respond with the address and any other information pertinent to the Box and I will put it on the Statewide Directory.
