DEA and Local Partners Host 18th National Drug Takeback on October 26th from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

 The public can find a nearby collection site at www.DEATakeBack.com (DEA cannot accept liquids, needles or sharps.)

“This important event allows the public the opportunity to contribute to the solution and offers a safe way to dispose of expired or unused prescription drugs that can pose a threat to others. Raising awareness about the dangers of prescription drug abuse is the first step in prevention. The DEA in Los Angeles appreciates the public’s support and it is clearly shown by the large amounts of prescription drugs that are collected every year. We are also grateful to all our local law enforcement partners who help advertise and make this event successful throughout the Los Angeles area,” said DEA Los Angeles Special Agent in Charge William D. Bodner.
