The Maryland State Police in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration are asking citizens dispose of unwanted prescription drugs during the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, April 29, 2017 from 10:00 am to 2:00 p.m. at state police barracks. State police barracks throughout Maryland will be participating in the National Drug Take Back Day. Each barrack will act as a collection station giving citizens an opportunity to dispose of all unwanted and unused prescription drugs. The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. Locally during the last initiative in October 2016, troopers collected over 2,100 pounds of prescription drugs. Nationally, 672,000 pounds (336 tons) of prescription medications were collected from members of the public. When added to the collections from the previous Take-Back events, more than 7.1 million pounds of prescription medications have been removed from circulation.
