Nationally, the Prescription Drug Take-Back initiative is overseen by the DEA while local law enforcement agencies assist at the collection sites in Las Cruces.
The take-back initiative addresses vital public safety and health issues. Unused and outdated medications are susceptible to misuse or abuses, and can result in accidental poisonings and overdoses. Traditional methods of disposing unused medications, such as throwing them in the trash or flushing them down a toilet, can pose safety and health hazards.
