Saturday is 29th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

The Drug Enforcement Administration, in collaboration with nearly 4,000 law enforcement partners across the country, will host the 29th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

At nearly 4,000 collection sites throughout the United States, the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day encourages Americans to safely and anonymously dispose of unnecessary, expired, and unused prescription medications to help prevent prescription drug misuse and reduce the potential for accidental overdoses and poisonings.

Since 2010, Take Back Day has resulted in a staggering 20 million pounds of unused medications collected to date.

In Fond du Lac County, you can find most police stations with a secure drug drop box where you can drop off unused drugs to be disposed of. If you are unable to drop off your unused/unwanted medications on Saturday, you can dispose of them at these locations during most business hours.
