The Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, a biannual event, will be observed by more than 230 New Jersey law enforcement agencies on April 30.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, the DEA said in a recent statement, unnecessary drugs can be dropped off anonymously and free of charge.

The New Jersey DEA Division said last Take Back Day, October 2021, more than 14,000 pounds of unused or unwanted prescription drugs were collected.

Tablets, capsules, patches and other solid forms of medication will be accepted, while liquids and syringes will not, according to the DEA. Illegal drugs may also not be discarded as part of this event.

Vaping devices can be returned if their lithium batteries have been removed.

The New Jersey sites represent only a small portion of more than 4,000 drop sites nationwide and cover 20 of the state’s 21 counties. Only Cumberland does not have a designated location, according to the DEA’s listing.
