The **Becker County Sheriff’s Office** is encouraging residents to participate in **Drug Take Back Day** on **October 26th**. This event aims to keep the community safe by offering a secure way to dispose of unneeded or expired medications, helping to prevent drug misuse and protect the environment. Residents are encouraged to clean out their medicine cabinets and take back any unneeded medications to designated collection sites for safe disposal.
You can find a collection site near you by visiting the official **Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Take Back Day** website, which lists available drop-off locations in Becker County.
This initiative plays an important role in addressing the opioid crisis by reducing the availability of unused prescription drugs and ensuring they are disposed of properly to avoid environmental harm.
