By John Nixon

04/24/2025

(KLZA)--The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), in coordination with more than 4,400 law enforcement partners, will host the 28th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering communities a safe, convenient and anonymous way to dispose of unneeded prescription medications.

The five state DEA Omaha Division, made up of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota, will host nearly 160 Take Back locations at which tablets, capsules, patches and other solid forms of prescription drugs will be accepted. Liquids, such as cough syrups, will also be accepted but must remain tightly sealed in their original containers. Vaping devices and cartridges will be accepted if lithium batteries are removed. Syringes, sharps, and illicit substances will not be collected.

In Falls City there are drop boxes for prescription medicines that are no longer needed on the first floor of the Richardson County Courthouse and inside the front door of Community Medical Center.
