On October 29 the DEA and state and local law enforcement agencies collaborate to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from our nation’s medicine cabinets. The National Take-Back Day provides an opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical controlled

substances and other medications for destruction. These drugs are a potential source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety. This one-day effort is intended to bring national focus to the issue of increasing pharmaceutical controlled substance abuse. In Yakima, DEA agents will be on hand from

10:00 am -2:00 pm at the large parking lot across the street from the east entrance of the Yakima Police Department.

The address is 207 S. 3rd Street.
