| National Take Back Prescription Drug Disposal Program | |
 Duncanville residents will be able to turn in their unused or expired medication for safe disposal on Saturday, September 25, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. as part of National Take-Back Day. Prescriptions can be dropped off at the Duncanville Police Department located at 203 E. Wheatland Rd.
National Take-Back Day 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 a part of this initiative.
