DEA Take Back Day

DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing prescription medication. HCSAC partners with Granbury Police Department and Hood County Sheriff’s Office to provide free, no-questions-asked, safe medication disposal. This is an anonymous event designed to safely get rid of old, unused, and unwanted prescription medication. This is held twice-yearly on the last Saturdays of April and October.
