On Saturday, October 26, 2024, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is teaming up with local law enforcement for National Prescription Take back Day, providing a secure and convenient way to dispose of expired prescription drugs. In April 2024, the DEA collected an impressive 335 tons of unused medications at 4,869 collection sites nationwide. Visit the DEA’s official Take Back Day website to access helpful tools, including a zip code-based location for nearby collection sites. Optum home delivery members can further support these efforts by requesting up to two drug disposal kits.
