Ready to Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet? 

October 28th is National Drug Take Back Day, see the list of places in Butler County that will be hosting a collection site!

Every year police departments around the county open up drug take-back sites where you can safely dispose of unwanted medication. It is important to remove unwanted or expired medication from your home to prevent it from being taken accidentally or misused by another member of the household, guests, or pets. Disposing of unwanted medication by throwing it away with your personal trash or by flushing down the drain can be both harmful to the environment and potentially put animals and other humans at risk. October 28th is National Drug Take Back Day, check the list below to find a take-back site near you!

Stop by anytime between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, no appointment necessary.
