On Saturday, April 27, 2012 the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring the sixth nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back†initiative. The initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft. Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs to be disposed of for destruction. This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked. The only restriction is we will not accept new or used needles. This program is intended for liquid and pill medications.
The Drug Take Back events have proven to be a popular and safe method for the public to legally and safely dispose of prescription drugs that are no longer needed or have expired. Citizens wishing to participate in this program may drop off their prescription drugs for disposal at any Indiana State Police Post throughout the state (except the Toll Road) on Saturday, April 27, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

I have participated on this program in the past. It is a good and worthwhile program. It takes outdated or unused prescription drugs off the street without befowling our sewer system.
I didn’t mind the drive out to the ISP post. When I got there, I was greated by very pleasant, cooperative employees.
I believe they would take illegal drugs off the streets as well as the prescription drugs. They asked NO questions. They let us put the drugs into their disposal bins with NO questions asked.
