National Drug Take-Back Day

Take advantage of a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired prescription drugs during Rx Collect Drug Take-Back Day, offered at three locations in Licking County.

On Saturday, April 27, from 10 am to 2 pm, visit one of the following locations with your unused or expired prescription drugs in a clear, plastic bag for safe disposal:

Newark Kroger Marketplace; 1155 North 21st St., Newark
Newark CVS – E. Main; 379 E. Main St., Newark
Pataskala Kroger; 350 E. Broad St., Pataskala

Residents should place all medications in a clear plastic bag and take it to the nearest drop off location. No questions are asked, and confidentiality remains a priority.

LCHD is participating in National Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, April 27 in partnership with the Newark Division of Police, the Licking County Sheriff’s Office and support from Mental Health and Recovery for Licking and Knox Counties.
