National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is being held today, April 26, across Michigan.
From 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., people can drop off unused or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications, such as pills, capsules, and patches, at participating locations. Liquids, needles, inhalers, syringes, and illicit drugs are not accepted. Vaping devices and cartridges are accepted only if batteries are removed.
All 31 Michigan State Police posts, including the Sixth District Michigan State Police Post in Grand Rapids, are participating in the drop-off event. The service is free and anonymous.
