Bucks County Human Services Department Director Rachael Neff said the fall takeback offers the Bucks Take Back Challenge for kids to complete. Kids can bring a finished challenge to a drop off location and win a prize.

The program is put on in Bucks County through the Bucks County Drug and Alcohol Commission, the district attorney’s office, police departments, and local organizations.
