Sen. Yaw Touts National Drug Take-Back Day

HARRISBURG – State Sen. Gene Yaw (R-23) today announced that the ­­­ Semi-Annual “National Drug Take-Back Day,” sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2019, from 10AM-2PM.  As with previous Take-Back events, sites will be set up throughout communities allowing residents to return their unwanted, unneeded or expired prescription drugs for safe disposal.

Residents living throughout Bradford, Lycoming, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Union counties are encouraged to participate in the pharmaceutical “spring cleaning” by taking back expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Safe disposal drop-off locations are located in every county and can be found by going to www.SenatorGeneYaw.com.

In 2018, Pennsylvania law enforcement collected 36,000 pounds of unused or expired medication at 306 collection sites.

“Take-Back Day is an excellent way to reduce drug abuse and misuse across the board,” Sen. Yaw said.  “It’s not only about preventing people from stealing or abusing prescription drugs, but it’s also about preventing accidental use and overdose, especially by our senior population.”
