SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — The Drug Enforcement Administration’s next National Prescription Take Back Day is on Saturday, April 22.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Drug Force Administration, the following locations in Summit County will be participating in National Prescription Take Back Day:

• Smith’s – 1725 Uinta Way, Park City, UT 84098
• Summit County Sheriff’s Office – 6300 Justice Center Road, Park City, UT 84098

Residents can drop off unused medications at either location between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on April 22.
