Prescription Drug Take-Back

Drug Take-Back Overview
The City of Dublin and Dublin Police are committed to making the community a safe place. Working to end the opiate crisis gripping Central Ohio and the nation remains a top priority, which is why the Take-Back initiative continues. The events provide a free, safe way for community members to rid their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.
What can I drop off at Take-Back Events?
At this time, the service is taking pills, gel-caps and dry medications. We are unable to take liquids, inhalers, or any type of needle, syringe etc. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
Prescription Drug Abuse
- Prescription drug abuse is a growing issue across the country.
- Approximately eight people each day in Ohio die from prescription drug overdose
- The CDC estimates $78.5 billion is spent each year as a result of prescription abuse
- Medicines left in homes are highly susceptible to misuse and abuse
- National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows a majority of misused and abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends
