    Drug Take-Back Event on April 30

    By Staff ReportsApril 27, 2022Updated:April 27, 20222 Mins Read

    The Eden Prairie Police Department (EPPD) and National Drug Enforcement Administration will host a Drug Take-Back Event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at the Senior Center, 8950 Eden Prairie Road.

    Residents can drop off unused or expired prescriptions or over-the-counter medication for free, and the EPPD will safely dispose of them. A staff person will grab the bags while residents stay in their vehicles. No sharps (such as needles and syringes), inhalers or illicit substances will be accepted. 

    For residents who can’t make it to the drop-off, the EPPD has free home medication disposal bags that can be picked up between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at City Center, 8080 Mitchell Road. Each bag provides for the disposal of up to 90 pills, 12 ounces of liquid medication or 12 transdermal patches. The bags contain activated carbon, which neutralizes the medication and prevents it from contaminating the ground and drinking water.

    The EPPD does not accept medication drop-offs at its department. Hennepin County has drop box locations to dispose of large or small quantities of medication safely.
