National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
October 22, 2024
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, and UF Health North are hosting “National Prescription Drug Take Back Day" on Saturday, October 26, 2024, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Collection drop-off sites will be at:
  • HCA Florida Memorial Hospital located at 3625 University Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32216,
  • and UF Health North located at 15255 Max Leggett Parkway, Jacksonville, FL 32218.

This free event aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible way for the community to dispose of prescription drugs they no longer need, while also educating the public.

Citizens can turn in prescription drugs, schedule II-V controlled substances, and non-controlled drugs at the event for proper disposal and remain anonymous. Items that will not be accepted include illegal (Schedule I) drugs, needles/syringes/sharps containers, medical devices/batteries, aerosol cans/inhalers, chemicals, mercury-containing devices, radioactive drugs, and liquid chemotherapy drugs.

Those who are unable to attend the October 26th event can drop off any unused prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications at the public entrance of the police headquarters off of Forsyth Street in downtown Jacksonville (Police Memorial Building, 501 East Bay Street). The drop box is accessible between 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
