Dispose of your unused medications safely on April 30.
The Cook County Sheriff ’s Office and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have partnered for the “National Take Back Initiative” on Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The National Take Back Initiative is a program where the public can bring unused, unwanted or expired prescription drugs for safe disposal, no questions asked and at no cost to them. This is an opportunity to safely empty out your medicine cabinet of drugs that you don’t need any more or that have expired, including prescription drugs that contain controlled substances.
Two collection sites have been set up in Cook County: the Cook County Senior Center, 10 South Broadway, Grand Marais; and the Grand Portage Clinic, 62 Upper Road, Grand Portage.
