Wayland Public Safety Building, Saturday, April 30, 10am-2pm

On April 30, 2011, the DEA will coordinate a collaborative effort with state and local law enforcement agencies to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from our nation's medicine cabinets.  Collection activities will take places from 10am-2pm at sites established throughout the country.  The National Take-Back Initiative provides an opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications for destruction.

These drugs are a potential source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety.  This one-day effort is intended to bring national focus to the issue of increasing pharmaceutical controlled substance abuse.

• The program is anonymous
• Prescription and over the counter solid dosage medications, i.e., tablets and capsules accepted
• Intra-venous solutions, injectables and needles will not be accepted
• Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not part of this initiative
