facility entrance to receive a pre-paid envelope used to dispose of medications through the U.S. postal service. They can also park and dispose of medications in the secure disposal


receptacles at each facility. VA is aligning with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration for this initiative. Any member of the public is welcome, whether they have any affiliation to


Veterans or not.  “We are pleased to welcome non-Veteran members of our community to the VA facilities for VA Medication Take Back Day. I encourage people to dispose of old and unused


prescriptions in this safe and secure manner,” said Milwaukee VA Police Chief Martin Runge. “It’s important for each of us to clean out our medicine cabinets regularly and to dispose of


medications to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our environment.” This action is the result of legislation signed into law by President Biden on July 29, 2021. The Dispose of Unused


Medications and Prescription (DUMP) Opioids Act requires VA to establish designated time periods when Veterans and non-Veterans can dispose of opioids and other controlled substances and


medications at covered VA facilities. A covered facility is a VA medical facility with an onsite pharmacy and/or a physical location dedicated for law enforcement purposes. Civilians who


can’t participate in VA Take Back Days can use DOJ Public Disposal Locations Search Tool to find year-round collection sites. DEA holds twice yearly Take Back Days, on the last Saturdays of


April and October. Veterans enrolled for VA care can bring their expired and unused medications to their VA site of care for disposal at any time by contacting their local VA Police Service


or VA Pharmacy. ###  NOTE TO MEDIA: You are welcome to cover this event. Contact Public Affairs at [email protected] or 414-384-2000, ext. 45363
