Attorney General Todd Rokita encourages Hoosiers to participate in spring cleaning on Drug Take Back Day 

APRIL 21, 2023

Attorney General Todd Rokita is encouraging Hoosiers to drop off their expired, unused, and unnecessary medications to disposal sites across the state as part of National Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 22.  

“It’s vital we do everything possible to protect Hoosier families,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Old medications lying around the house are a serious threat and create an avoidable risk to our children, friends, and family members. Please join us in cleaning out the medicine cabinet this week to join the fight against drug addiction and overdose.”  

Team members from the Office of the Attorney General are partnering with state and local law enforcement at collection sites around the state Friday, April 21, and Saturday, April 22.  

Some of those sites include:   

  • April 21: Government Center North at Capitol Police Desk located at 100 N Senate Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46204 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  
  • April 22: Valparaiso Police and Fire Departments located at 355 S Washington St., Valparaiso, IN from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.   

Find a location near you at https://www.dea.gov/takebackday#collection-locator. Staff operating the drop-off sites will ensure the safe disposal of medications, including drugs in liquid and pill form.  

Needles, new or used, WILL NOT be accepted for disposal. This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.
