The upcoming National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is scheduled for October 26, 2024. This event provides an opportunity for individuals to dispose of unneeded over-the-counter, prescription, and pet medications safely and anonymously.
Proper disposal of medications is essential in preventing misuse and reducing the risk of addiction or drug toxicity. Additionally, it helps protect local water supplies from potential contamination.
For those interested in participating or seeking more information, the Sustainability Team can be contacted via phone at (737) 710-8236 or email at conserve@traviscountytx.gov.
