(Dublin, OH) The City of Dublin continues to make the community a safe place. Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. will be the second Drug Take-Back Day of 2019. It coincides with National Prescription Drug Take-Back day which brought in more than 900,000 pounds of unused or expired prescription medication nationwide.
This event provides community members with a safe way to rid their homes of expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. We encourage you to bring your pills to the parking lot of the Dublin Justice Center, 6565 Commerce Parkway.
Mark your calendars for the remaining take-back days in Dublin:

- June 22: Avery Square Kroger, near fuel station
- August 24: Scioto High School, southeast parking lot

This service will take all of the following:

We will not be accepting:
- Liquids
- Inhalers
- Any type of needle, syringe etc.
Prescription medication abuse is a problem in communities across the country. Providing safe drug disposal options helps remove these risks.
In addition to various take back events, there is a 24/7 prescription pill drop box located inside the Dublin Justice Center for discrete and convenient disposal.
