(LANSING) - Michigan State Police are once again taking part in National Drug Take Back Day on April 25.
This is a national initiative that encourages residents to safely dispose of expired and unused prescription pills.
All of the MSP Posts will be open this Saturday, April 25 from 10 AM until 2 PM to accept unwanted medications. All collected pills will be destroyed, no questions asked. Liquids, inhalers, patches and syringes will not be accepted.
Colonel James F. Grady II, Director of the MSP says by taking a few minutes to clear out expired or unused pills, citizens are proactively helping to prevent prescription drug misuse and abuse as well as protect the environment. Grady says Drug Take Back Day allows for an accessible, anonymous, secure and easy way to partner with police to help keep Michigan communities safe.
Nearly 650 pounds of pills were collected during the last Drug Take Back Day in October 2025.
