The initiative, led by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, is designed to reduce the potential for prescription drug misuse and promote safe medication disposal.

The event accepts prescription pills, over-the-counter medications, and pet medications but does not allow liquids, needles, or sharps. By disposing of drugs responsibly, participants can help prevent environmental contamination and reduce the risk of accidental ingestion or misuse within the household.
Improper storage or disposal of unused prescription medications contributes to rising rates of addiction and overdose. Events like these aim to curb that trend by providing a secure and anonymous drop-off option. Law enforcement agencies across the country will participate in similar events the same day as part of the national campaign.
