Statesville, North Carolina | April 11, 2023

On Saturday, April 22, from 10am to 2pm the Statesville Police Department will be participating in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.    

For more than a decade, the event has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications – those that are old, unwanted, or expired – that too often become a gateway to addiction. In partnership with local law enforcement, Take Back Day has removed more than 8,300 tons of medication from circulation since its inception.

Take Back Day offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at more than 4,000 local drop-off locations nationwide.  The Statesville Police Department will be at Walgreens Pharmacy located at 951 Davie Avenue in Statesville for the event. Most collection sites do not accept syringes, sharps, and illicit drugs; however, the SPD will accept sharps and syringes at the Statesville location. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container with the cap tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
