💊🚨 QUICK REMINDER, DECATUR! HAVE YOU CLEANED OUT YOUR MEDICINE CABINET YET?

That prescription you never finished? The expired medication sitting in the back of the cabinet? The bottles you've been meaning to get rid of but weren't sure how?

Now is the perfect time to gather them up!

This Saturday, the Decatur Township Drug Free Coalition, Decatur Township Police Department, and Kroger are teaming up for DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day!

📅 Saturday, October 24
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Kroger | 3361 Kentucky Avenue, Indianapolis

💙 FREE. ANONYMOUS. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Getting unused medications out of our homes is one simple way we can help prevent accidental poisonings, reduce opportunities for medication misuse, and protect our environment.

And it only takes a few minutes!

✅ Check your medicine cabinets.
✅ Look through those bathroom drawers.
✅ Ask your parents or grandparents if they have medications to dispose of.
✅ Bring everything you've collected to our drop-off location on Saturday!

🚫 Please remember: We cannot accept liquids, needles, or inhalers.

Let's see how many Decatur Township households we can get involved! 🙌

👇 Have you cleaned out your medicine cabinet recently, or is it still on your to-do list?

Share this reminder with your friends, family, and neighbors. You never know who might have a drawer full of old medications they've been meaning to get rid of!

❤️💙 Small actions make a BIG difference in keeping our community safe!

💊🏡 WHAT'S HIDING IN YOUR MEDICINE CABINET?

We all have them...old prescriptions, medications we no longer need, or bottles that have been sitting in the cabinet long past their expiration dates.

But did you know that keeping unused medications around can increase the risk of accidental poisoning, medication misuse, and even prescription drug abuse?

That's why the Decatur Township Drug Free Coalition, in partnership with the Decatur Township Police Department and Kroger, is proud to host a local collection site for DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day! ❤️

📅 Saturday, October 24, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Kroger — 3361 Kentucky Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46221

✅ Completely FREE
✅ Safe and secure disposal
✅ 100% anonymous
✅ No questions asked!

Simply gather your unwanted, unused, or expired medications and drop them off. We'll make sure they're properly disposed of!

🚫 Please note: No liquids, needles, or inhalers will be accepted.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Protects children from accidental poisoning.
🔒 Reduces opportunities for prescription medication misuse.
💊 Helps prevent medications from falling into the wrong hands.
🌎 Keeps harmful substances out of our waterways and environment.

A safer community starts with simple actions we can all take.

Take a few minutes this week to clean out your medicine cabinet, remind a family member, or help an older neighbor gather medications they no longer need.

📣 Help us spread the word! Share this post with your friends, family, and neighbors so we can get as many unused medications safely collected as possible.

Together, we can help keep Decatur Township safe, healthy, and drug-free! ❤️💙
