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. 24, 2026.<\/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. 24 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
