The Indiana State Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration are partnering to sponsor a drug take back event this Saturday.

The 13th annual prescription drug take back initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of prescription drugs.

Liquid and pill medications that are expired, unwanted or unused may be disposed of as a free service at any Indiana State Police Post, except the Toll Road Post this Saturday, April 29. The event is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time. Needles, new or used, will NOT be accepted. No questions will be asked.

Officials from both the Indiana State Police and DEA will properly dispose of the medications without a threat to the environment.

A list of state police post locations can be found here.
