DEA National Rx Take Back Day
Saturday, October 25, 2025, the Lake City Police Department is participating in the National Prescription Drug Take Back. This is an opportunity for anyone to dispose of unused prescription drugs anonymously. No questions or requests for identification will be made.
Participants may dispose of medication in its original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing it directly into the disposal box. If an original container is submitted, the individual is encouraged to remove any identifying information from the prescription label. All solid-dosage pharmaceutical products and liquids in consumer containers may be accepted. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. The depositor should ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent leakage. Intravenous solutions, injectables, and syringes will not be accepted due to potential hazards posed by blood-borne pathogens.
Held Saturday, October 25 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Lake City Police Department - Lobby, located at 225 NW Main Blvd., Lake City, Florida 32055.
