RASAP participates in the DEA's National Drug Take Back event twice a year-- once in the spring and once in the fall. This event provides an opportunity for community members to dispose of prescription drugs in their home to help prevent misuse by family members or others who may be in the home. This event is free to the public.

Please note that we cannot accept liquids, sharps (including Epipens), or aerosols (such as inhalers).
