Travis County, DEA team up for drug take back event
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Travis County said it would partner with the Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA, on April 26 to collect expired, unused or unwanted over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
According to the county, the effort was in partnership with National Take Back Day, which 'allows residents to safely remove unneeded medications from their homes, which helps prevent drug misuse and reduces the risk of addiction.'
Residents can drop off medications at any of the five Travis County Constable Precincts from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pet medications are also accepted, but syringes will not be accepted.
According to the county, the service is free and anonymous, with no questions asked.
