Indiana State Police taking part in Drug Take Back Day

Indiana State Police are partnering with the DEA on Saturday for the 19th Drug Take Back Day.

Unwanted medications can be dropped off at any Indiana State Police Post, except the Toll Road Post, between 1 a.m. and 2 p.m. The program is mainly meant for liquid and pill medications that are expired, unused, and unwanted. They will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment. Vaping pens without batteries and vaping cartridges will also be taken.

Needles, new or used, will not be accepted for disposal.

According to the State Police, studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.
