Rep. Severin Reminds Residents of Drug Takeback Day

Tomorrow, Saturday, April 27, 2024 is National Drug Takeback Day sponsored by the DEA. Residents are encouraged to participate in this initiative aimed at safely disposing of unused or expired prescription drugs. According to Rep. Severin, "You can find a collection site near you by visiting www.DEATakeBack.com." This website serves as a state-sponsored and funded platform, as highlighted by the statement, "This website is a state-sponsored and funded site and as such campaign-related posts, content and comments are prohibited by ethics regulations."

As the day approaches, individuals are reminded of the importance of proper medication disposal to prevent misuse and protect the environment. DEA Takeback Day provides a convenient opportunity for individuals to safely dispose of prescription drugs and contribute to the overall health and safety of their communities.

In light of this initiative, Rep. Severin urges residents to take part in Drug Takeback Day and utilize the resources available to them for the proper disposal of medications. The collaboration between the DEA and the community underscores the shared responsibility in addressing substance abuse and promoting public health.
