Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is encouraging Hoosiers to drop off their expired, unused and unwanted medications to disposal sites across the state today as part of National Drug Take Back Day.

“It is critical to do all we can to protect Hoosier families,” Rokita said. “Leftover medications lying around the house pose a serious threat and create an unnecessary risk to our children, friends, and family members. Clear out the medicine cabinet this week to join the fight against drug addiction and overdose.”
Team members from the Office of the Attorney General are joining local law enforcement at collection sites around the state today. Locally, Hamilton County residents can visit Riverview Hospital, 395 Westfield Road, Noblesville, from 9 a.m. to noon today.
The Indiana State Police and other law enforcement agencies are also participating in National Drug Take Back Day. Medications may be dropped off at any Indiana State Police post except the Toll Road Post.
Staff operating the drop-off sites will ensure the safe disposal of medications, including drugs in liquid and pill form. Vaping pens without batteries and vaping cartridges will also be accepted. Needles, new or used, WILL NOT be accepted for disposal. This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.
