BUDA — Knowing that unused prescription medication can find its way into the wrong hands, the Buda Police Department encourages to participate in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day this month.
Agencies nationwide partner with the DEA to provide a drop-off location for those who have prescription or over-the counter medications that are expired, unused or unwanted to have a safe place to dispose of them, no questions asked.
According to the DEA, during the last event in October 2025, 4,263 law enforcement agencies participated, with 4,317 total collection sites and 20,391,851 total weight all time — this may include materials other than prescription drugs.
