Johns Hopkins Medicine is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration to host Johns Hopkins' third biannual National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day event on Saturday, Oct. 24, when participants can drive or walk up to collection sites to dispose of their unused or expired medications. The hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
This will be a contactless and physically distant interaction that has been approved by the Department of Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control. All volunteers will be wearing personal protective equipment at all times, and participants are highly encouraged to wear face masks. For more details, go to the JHM event website.
