Drug Take Back Day

Protect yourself, your family, and your community by turning in your unused or expired prescription medication for safe disposal on Saturday, April 25th, from 10 AM – 2 PM!
This event is a collaborative effort among community partners, including Horizon Behavioral Health, local law enforcement, the Central Virginia Health District, and CVARR. We will be present at nine locations throughout Central Virginia for residents to dispose of expired, unwanted, or unused medications and provide free resources to safeguard our community. Rapid REVIVE Trainings will also be offered at each location for individuals interested in receiving FREE Narcan and becoming trained in opioid overdose emergency response.
Vape pens and other e-cigarette devices with batteries removed will also be collected.
