The Sidney Police Department and Fire & Emergency Services have teamed up for the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Event on Saturday, October 26, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Check your medicine cabinets for old and expired prescription drugs. If you haven’t used them, don’t need them, or are expired, drop them off at the Sidney Police Department.
Accepted items: tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs. Collection sites will not accept syringes, sharps, and illicit drugs. Liquid products like cough syrup should remain sealed in their original container. The cap must be tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
For more than a decade, the event has helped Americans easily rid their homes of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to addiction. Take Back Day offers free anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at nearly 5,000 local drop-off locations nationwide.
