) - National Drug Take Back Day is Saturday, April 25. Doctors with the Medical Association of the State of Alabama urge Alabamians to safely dispose of expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs —a simple step that could save lives.
In 2025, Alabamians turned in 6,657 pounds of unused medications during both Take Back Days—drugs that otherwise could have been misused, diverted or led to overdose.
“Unused prescription drugs too often become a gateway to addiction or accidental overdose,” said Dr. Nina Ford Johnson, President of the Medical Association. “Take Back Day is a simple, safe way to get them out of your home for good and potentially save a life. ”Accepted: tablets, capsules and other solid medications. Liquids: keep sealed in original containers to prevent leakage; check with your chosen site for what they accept.
