Drug Take-Back Program

Old Medications taking up room in your medicine cabinet?

“Approximately 46,000 Americans die each year from drug-related deaths and four out of five new heroin users starting with prescription medications,” according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

The Virginia Tech Police Department has established a Drug Take-Back program to collect unwanted drugs (including prescription medications) from Virginia Tech students, employees, community members and nonaffiliated individuals.

The program provides a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications and illegal drugs.
