National Drug Takeback Day Is Saturday
The University of Arkansas Police Department will accept any and all expired, outdated or unwanted drugs, no questions asked, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Administrative Services Building on Razorback Road.
For the DEA Natonal Drug Takeback Day, UAPD is trying to make it easy for anyone to get rid of excess prescription drugs. Officers will be available on Saturday for you to drive-up and drop-off your prescription drugs.
For those who can't come by on Saturday, the Administrative Services Building, which houses UAPD, Transit and Parking, and IT Services, also has a permanent Drug Drop-Box that can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
