Police and DEA Announce 2026 Drug Take Back Day Drop-Off Sites

Officials say free, anonymous disposal reduces misuse.

Overview

  • The Colorado Springs Police Department listed four anonymous drop-off sites with the DEA: King Soopers on Constitution, Memorial Hospital North on Briargate, the Police Operations Center on South Nevada, and Security Public Library on Aspen.
  • Indiana State Police said every post will take drop-offs, and the Lafayette and Putnamville posts will collect a day earlier than the rest.
  • The service is free and anonymous and accepts pills, liquids, and vaping cartridges or pens with batteries removed.
  • Needles and other sharps will not be accepted at Indiana State Police locations.
  • Officials urge safe disposal to prevent misuse and protect waterways, directing people to the DEA website for more collection sites.
