The time has come once again.

Utah Take Back, a bi-annual event in April and October, is a day set aside to help this great state properly dispose of unused, expired, or unwanted prescriptions. Last April our local law enforcement partners collected 17,364 pounds of prescriptions drugs!
Utah Take Back Day is free of charge and anonymous. Collection sites are set-up throughout the entire state and this Saturday includes a site at the Capitol.

The Take Back service is provided through the partnership of the Attorney General’s Office, DEA, Department of Health, Department of Public Safety, Utah National Guard, and more.
