Katy ISD Drug Take Back Event

The Katy ISD Police Department, in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), is providing an opportunity for the public to safely dispose of potentially dangerous, expired, unused and unwanted prescription medications on Saturday, April 22.  According to the DEA, pharmaceutical drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs when taken without a prescription or a doctor’s supervision.  Needles or sharp objects will not be accepted, and any liquids must be in prescribed containers.  

Collection efforts will take place in the lobby of the Katy ISD Police Department.  Through the National Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative, the DEA and its partners across the country have collected nearly 16 million pounds of unused prescription medications.
