By Office of Communication<\/p>\n

The Arlington Police Department is hosting a prescription drug collection event at four collection sites in coordination with the US DEA\u2019s National Drug Take Back Day. Residents can participate in an anonymous, safe disposal between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025.<\/p>\n

By properly and safely disposing your expired and unused medications, you can help prevent accidental overdoses. The Drug Take Back event also helps Arlington Water Utilities protect Arlington\u2019s water supply by encouraging proper drug disposal.<\/p>\n

Collection sites for the Oct. 25 event are:<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

North – Ott Cribbs Public Safety Center: 620 W. Division St.<\/p>\n


\n
\n <\/p>\n

East – Medical City Arlington: 3301 Matlock Road (Lot A)<\/p>\n


\n
\nSouth – Dr. Theron L. Bowman South Police Service Center: 1030 SW Green Oaks Blvd. <\/p>\n


\nWest\u00a0– Walgreens: 4400 W. Green Oaks Blvd. <\/p>\n

Disposal Guidelines<\/p>\n

Accepted:<\/p>\n


\nControlled, non-controlled, and over-the-counter medications for humans or pets
\nAll solid dosage pharmaceutical product and liquids in consumer containers (please keep liquid products, such as cough syrups, sealed in original containers)
\nSingle Use, Auto-Injectors (such as Epi Pens)
\nVapes <\/p>\n

Not Accepted:<\/p>\n


\nIntravenous solutions, injectables, syringes and medical equipment
\nIllicit substances, such as marijuana or methamphetamine
\nPressurized cartridges such as inhalers <\/p>\n

Tips
\n
\nParticipants may dispose of medication in its original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box.
\nRemoving labels or repackaging is unnecessary as all disposal boxes will remain sealed and will be incinerated.
\nAll participants must retain possession of their own medication during the surrender process. <\/p>\n

Naloxone and Prescription Medication Lock Boxes<\/p>\n

Health Services\u00a0will be on site at the Ott Cribbs Public Safety Center on Oct. 25 to provide two free doses of naloxone to residents as requested. Naloxone is an over-the-counter medicine that rapidly reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. Residents visiting the Ott Cribbs Public Safety Center police station during the Drug Take Back event can also register for a chance to win one of two free prescription drug lock boxes donated to the City of Arlington by Cook Children\u2019s in an effort to prevent children from accessing prescription medications. Those who request naloxone or who enter the raffle do not have to drop off expired or unwanted prescription medications to participate.<\/p>\n

Year-Round Prescription Drug Disposal<\/p>\n
