National Prescription Drug Take-Back Event

The City of Prairie Village and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its eighth opportunity in three years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to the Prairie Village City Hall parking lot at 7700 Mission Rd. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last October, Americans turned in 324 tons of prescription drugs at over 4,114 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners.
