INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana State Police and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) are teaming up to give you the opportunity to dispose of prescription drugs safely during their annual Drug Take-Back Day.
Taking place this Saturday (April 24th, 2021) from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. local time, the take-back will give you the opportunity to turn over any prescription pills or liquid medication you no longer need or want for whatever reason, no questions asked. Vape pens with the batteries removed and vaping liquid will also be accepted. However, any type of needles will not.
The goal of the annual event is to help curb, if not eliminate entirely, the theft of prescription drugs that lead to abuse, and sometimes far more tragic situations like death.
According to the Indiana State Police website, locations in Steuben County for the Drug Take Back event include: The Angola City Police Department, Hamilton Police Department, Ashley Police Department, and the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department.
