Prescription Drug ‘Take Back’ Listed

The 28th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, led by the Drug Enforcement Administration, will be 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, April 26, at the Sitka Public Library.

Hosted by Sitka Counseling and the HOPE Coalition, the event offers ‘‘a respectful, confidential and judgment-free space for community members to safely dispose of unused or expired prescription medications,’’ the organizers said. ‘‘By removing medications that are no longer needed, we reduce the risk of accidental use, misuse, and environmental harm.’’

The event is centered on protecting health, promoting safety, and supporting individuals and families in making informed, empowered choices.

Appreciation is extended to Harry Race Pharmacy, the Sitka Police Department, and the Sitka Public Library for their commitment to this effort, organizers said.
