PIERRE — South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley encourages people with unneeded prescription medication to safely dispose of it during National Drug Take Back Day on April 26.
“Unneeded or unused medication can be deadly if not prescribed for you,” Jackley said. “This is a great opportunity to safely dispose of such medications.”
The event is an opportunity for residents to safely dispose of their unwanted, unneeded, or unused medication at participating locations, which include pharmacies and law enforcement agencies.
National Drug Take Back Day is held twice a year and is sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The service is free and anonymous. The October 2024 Take Back Day nationally brought in 629,953 lbs. (314 tons) of medication.
The drug disposal site in Brookings is at the Walmart pharmacy, with 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. listed as collection time.
The list of disposal sites in South Dakota can be found here.
