National Take-Back Initiative

On Saturday April 30, 2016, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. the DEA will coordinate a collaborative effort with state and local law enforcement agencies focused on removing potentially dangerous controlled substances from our nation’s medicine cabinets. A national take-back day will provide a unified opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications to law enforcement officers for destruction. This one-day effort will bring national focus to the issue of pharmaceutical controlled substance abuse. The program also provides an opportunity for law enforcement, prevention, treatment, and the business community to collaborate and establish a safe collection site for all Americans, regardless of where they reside.

The locations for planned disposal monitored by the Delaware State Police will be at the following:

Delaware State Police Troop 4, 23652 Shortly Road, Georgetown, DE 19947.

Christiana Care, 4755 Ogletown-Stanton Road, Newark, DE 19713

It really pains me to write this and I apologize to anyone that I offend. Has it really come to the point that the average citizen cannot figure out how and where to dispose of prescriptions? I understand the situation where a person dies or is hospitalized and prescriptions are left behind and need to be disposed of. Even if if a person does not have internet via cellphone or at home, anyone can get online for free at a library. A quick search will let a person know what the prescription is and how to dispose of it.

Yes, I am the person that posts "Google it!" when people post questions on this blog asking where a business is located or where an event is being held. I'm old and spent many years looking at the Sears catalog (wishbook), but if I can figure out how to look up property records and criminal records, there is no excuse for anyone using the internet to post on this blog to be able to figure out where an event is and how to get tickets. Google Trump.
