(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – The next National Drug Take Back event is coming up soon.

The DEA will host a National Drug Take Back on Saturday, October 24 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

During that time, anyone can drop off unwanted or expired medications to any Indiana State Police Post.

The Drug Take Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue.
