Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “It is an honor to join DEA Acting Administrator Tim Shea as we ask all Floridians to help us fight the opioid crisis and youth vaping epidemic threatening our communities. By safely disposing of unused and expired prescription drugs, we can keep these controlled substances from ending up in the wrong hands—making our state and nation a safer place to live. Your actions today could prevent drug overdoses and save countless lives, maybe the life of someone close to you.”

DEA Acting Administrator Timothy Shea said, “The initiative—now in its tenth year—addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Together with our partners, we are not only holding National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, but offering other ways to dispose of unwanted, unused, and expired prescription medication.”

The DEA coordinates drug take back days with state and local law enforcement biannually. Floridians can learn more about National Prescription Drug Take Back Day and find participating locations by visiting TakeBackDay.DEA.gov.

Since the fall of 2010, DEA and its law enforcement partners have collected nearly 12.7 million pounds of prescription medications. The scheduled April Take Back Day was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic; however, DEA ran a public awareness campaign, Secure Your Meds, at that time. During the last Drug Take Back Day in October 2019, nearly 883,000 pounds of unused or expired prescription medication were turned in—over 36,000 pounds in Florida alone.

For more information and statistics on the October 2019 results, click here. To find local prescription drug disposal locations participating in Drug Take Back Day, click here.

The DEA does not accept vaping devices with lithium ion batteries. If the batteries cannot be removed, DEA recommends individuals visit stores that recycle lithium ion batteries.

For year-round Take Back locations and other tips to help fight opioid abuse, visit Attorney General Moody’s statewide resource DoseOfRealityFL.com.

Earlier this month, Attorney General Moody announced recent advances in the fight to end the opioid epidemic in Florida as the nation continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. For more on those efforts, click here. ...

Timeline PhotosThe Largo Police Department would like to recognize our Senior Services Officer, Joel Quattlebaum, for his initiative in bringing the #YellowDotProgram to Pinellas County. Officer Quattlebaum provided a presentation about Yellow Dot to the Pinellas County EMS Advisory Council in September of 2019. Due in large part to Officer Quattlebaum’s efforts the Pinellas County Commission approved the Yellow Dot program in December 2019.

Florida’s program calls for participants to place a yellow dot decal in the lower corner of their vehicle’s rear window. The decal tells emergency response personnel that a yellow dot folder containing medical information for the driver and/or passenger is located in the glove compartment. The program is free to participants and is being funded by Pinellas County. As of October 20, the Yellow Dot Program has gone live in Pinellas County. For more information, please visit Pinellascounty.org/forms/yellow_dot.htm ...
