The Ponca City Police Department is holding their Drive-Thru Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, Oct. 24th in the RecPlex parking lot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is held to help provide the community a safe way to dispose of prescription drugs and at the same time helps to educate the general public about the potential for abuse of these medications.

Drug collections help to stop unused medications from getting into our water sources or by getting into the environment when these unused medications are disposed of down a toilet or a drain. The proper disposal of unused drugs saves lives and also protects the environment. It also helps to reduce this misuse by properly disposing of these drugs as hazardous waste.
