Walk-in vaccination clinics open through April 26—no appointment needed!
This Saturday, April 24 is the Drug Enforcement Administration’s 20th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, where you can anonymously drop off expired, unused or unwanted prescription medications at a collection site near you. With studies showing that the majority of abused prescription drugs come from family and friends, including home medicine cabinets, clearing out unused medicine is extremely important. The DEA and its partners will collect solid forms of prescription drugs, as well as vaping devices and cartridges with the lithium batteries removed. Liquids, syringes and other sharps, and illegal drugs will not be accepted. Collection sites will adhere to local COVID-19 guidelines.
