DEA National Drug Take Back Day – Help Keep Cape Cod’s Waters Clean
This Saturday, October 26th, from 10 AM to 2 PM, take the opportunity to safely dispose of any expired, unused, or unwanted medications. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) National Drug Take Back Day is an important initiative to prevent the improper disposal of pharmaceuticals, which can pose risks to both our environment and public health.
Cape Cod residents can participate by bringing medications to a participating police department near you. The service is free and anonymous, with no questions asked. To find a convenient drop-off location, visit this link.
Why It’s Important:
Improperly disposing of medications—such as flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—can result in harmful chemicals entering Cape Cod’s drinking water supply. Protecting our precious water resources is vital for the health and well-being of our community.
By participating in this event, you are helping to safeguard Cape Cod’s environment, ensuring our waters remain clean and free of contamination. Let’s work together to keep our beautiful region safe, clean, and healthy.
Take Action:
Join us in keeping Cape Cod’s waters medication-free by disposing of unwanted drugs properly this Saturday.
