RPD Partners with DEA for National Drug Take Back Day

Expired and unused medications in a household can pose a threat to individuals in the home – and can harm the ecosystem if disposed of improperly.

That’s why the Richmond Police Department is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration for the annual National Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 30.

From 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., representatives from the RPD Community Care unit will accept the medications in the free Drug Take Back event at the Arthur Ashe Center (parking lot) located at 3001 N. Arthur Ashe Boulevard and St. Paul’s Baptist Church located at 700 E. Belt Boulevard.

“This is an excellent opportunity to dispose of unused or expired medications in a proper way,” said Community Care Captain Dan Minton. “These medications should not be kept around the house. Bringing them to the National Drug Take Back Day event could save a life.”

All prescription medications collected will be incinerated according to federal and state environmental guidelines. Richmond Police asks that you do not bring syringes or illegal narcotics for disposal. Medical waste or bulk commercial medications will also not be accepted. E-cigs and vapes without batteries will be accepted. Those disposing of medications may remain anonymous.

Disposal bins are also located in the lobby of all four precincts and the headquarters building to collect medications throughout the year.
