Residents will be able to safely turn in unused, unneeded, or expired prescription medications this Saturday.

Due to the pandemic, the drop-off sites will offer easier-than-ever – no questions asked – drive up and drop off options.
“At this year’s event, participants are asked to stay in their vehicle and maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and other vehicles in line. Before dropping off the unneeded medicine, remember to remove any personal information from bottles,” according to a statement from the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.
Since Bucks County took part in the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day 2010, more than 146,613 pounds pounds of medication have been collected in the county, a record for the state.

“This upcoming medication take back event will be easier to participate in than ever,” Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub said. “Just locate the site closest to you, drive in, and drop your meds off without even getting out of your car. Don’t forget those vapes, and pet meds, too.

“Bucks County is number one. Let’s show the rest of the state how it’s done!”
