Lisle, IL – Residents in Lisle are encouraged to safely dispose of unused or expired prescription medications this Saturday during the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. The Lisle Police Department will host the event on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 5040 Lincoln Avenue.
According to the Lisle Police Department, the initiative allows residents to drop off medications anonymously — no questions asked — to help prevent accidental poisonings, misuse, and environmental harm.
The nationwide effort, coordinated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), aims to reduce the risks posed by unused medications left in homes. Prescription pills and capsules will be accepted, though injectables and sharps will not.
Officials emphasize that safe disposal helps protect families, the community, and local waterways. Unused medications can contribute to accidental ingestion, drug misuse, and contamination if flushed or discarded improperly.
The Lisle Police encourage all residents to check their medicine cabinets ahead of the event. For additional details and other drop-off locations, visit DEATakeBack.com.
