On Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Concord Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration will host DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day at locations across the country.

DEA and its partners will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs.

For more than a decade, the event has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to addiction.
