The Department of the Attorney General is again partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and State Narcotics Enforcement Division, Department of Public Safety on a prescription drug take-back event 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, April 30, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
This is the DEA’s 11th National Take-Back Initiative for Hawaii. Anyone with expired or unused prescription medications is encouraged to bring their medications to the collection sites.
This service is free and anonymous — no questions asked. Tablets, capsules, and all other solid dosage forms of medication will be accepted. New or used needles and syringes will not be accepted.
“Tossing pills into the trash can be dangerous. The take-backs are a great way to safely dispose of prescription drugs without harming others or the environment,” said Attorney General Douglas Chin.
Big Island collection sites are the upper parking lot of Ka Waena Lapaau Medical Complex, 670 Komohana St. in Hilo and the Kona Police Station at 74-0611 Hale Makai Pl. in Kailua-Kona.
