The Middle Township Police Department teams with Drug Enforcement Administration for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
 
Middle Township, NJ – On Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Middle Township Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration will host DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day at locations across the country. DEA and its partners will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs.
 
For more than a decade, the event has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to addiction.
 
Take Back Day offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at more than 4,000 local drop-off locations nationwide.
