Ditch your drugs this Saturday
Tuesday, October 24, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
This Saturday, Oct. 28, Travis County Constables and the Drug Enforcement Administration will collect expired or unwanted prescription and over-the-counter drugs from the public for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. The day is a way for people to remove drugs from their home for safe disposal and to help prevent misuse and contamination of the local water supply. Residents can drop off medications at any of the five locations below from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. anonymously and with no questions asked. No needles will be accepted. The Travis County Constable precincts below, in fact, collect unwanted prescription drugs year-round as authorized DEA collection sites through collection boxes in their lobbies, which are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week.
