On Saturday, October 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office is teaming up with the Drug Enforcement Administration to host DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day at Super One Foods in Ruston.
DEA and its partners will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs.
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.
What: National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
When: Saturday, October 25th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In partnership with local law enforcement, Take Back Day has removed more than 8,300 tons of medication from circulation since its inception.
