National Prescription Drug Take Back Day - April 26

4/25/2025 | Posted in: News

This Saturday, April 26, is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Prevent devastating accidents and overdoses by removing old prescription medication from your home. The Darien Police Department has a box for residents to drop off unused prescriptions in their lobby at 1710 Plainfield Road.

Please follow the instructions that are provided near the box to ensure safe disposal of medications. Dump the medicine out of its bottle and into a plastic bag you can seal, like a sandwich bag. If someone finds the medicine, they don't know what it is or who it belongs to. You can add different medicines to one bag. Please call Darien Police Department Non-Emergency number at 630-971-3999 with questions. Visit DEATakeBack.com for more collection site options.
