Rokita invites Hoosiers to clean out medicine cabinets as part of Drug Take Back Day

STATEWIDE — Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is encouraging Hoosiers to drop off their expired, unused and unwanted medications at disposal sites across the state as part of National Drug Take-Back Day tomorrow (Saturday, April 30).

“It is critical to do all we can to protect Hoosier families,” Rokita said. “Leftover medications lying around the house pose a serious threat and create an unnecessary risk to our children, friends, and family members. Clear out the medicine cabinet this week to join the fight against drug addiction and overdose.”

Team members from the Attorney General’s Office will join local law enforcement at collection sites around the state on Saturday.

One of those sites is the Indiana State Police Post in Versailles from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Staff operating the drop-off sites will ensure the safe disposal of medications, including drugs in liquid and pill form.

Vaping pens without batteries and vaping cartridges will also be accepted. New or used needles WILL NOT be accepted for disposal.

This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.
