National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day
Scoop USA Newspaper
|ScoopDigital, Vol. 6, No. 37
Shapiro Administration leaders from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP), Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), and Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) partnered with the Keystone Contractors Association (KCA) to encourage Pennsylvanians to take part in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day initiative on Saturday, October 25.

Officials from the Shapiro Administration and the Keystone Contractors Association join law enforcement, veterans, and industry leaders at the construction site of the future Veterans Village apartment complex in Harrisburg, Pa., on Oct. 21, 2025, to encourage Pennsylvanians to dispose of unwanted medications and pick up Narcan ahead of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.

The DEA has offered National Prescription Drug Take-Back Days — one in the spring and one in the fall - since 2010, to fight prescription drug misuse by creating convenient ways to dispose of medication that could otherwise be misused.
During the most recent National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day in April 2025, the DEA collected nearly 32,000 pounds of unused medication in Pennsylvania alone across more than 230 collection sites.
“Getting rid of all the expired, unused, and unwanted prescription medications in your cabinets, on your shelves, and around your home is one of the most effective ways to prevent substance misuse,” said DDAP Secretary Dr. Latika Davis-Jones. “Protecting those who are literally building our communities is at the heart of the Shapiro Administration’s partnership with the KCA as we work together to strengthen substance use disorder prevention efforts within Pennsylvania’s construction industry.”
Commitment to and Collaboration with the Construction Industry
The Shapiro Administration joined the KCA at the construction site of the future Veterans Village in Harrisburg - which will include a 64-unit apartment complex to house more than 80 veterans in need of permanent housing - to discuss substance use disorder (SUD) in the construction industry, highlight the importance of education and prevention for employees in this field, and to remind them of available SUD resources.
