Walgreens is making its stores part of a major national initiative to help fight prescription drug abuse. On Saturday, April 26, 2025, Walgreens is participating in National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This annual event is dedicated to the safe disposal of unwanted, unused or expired medications. During the event, participating consumers can dispose of medications they no longer need at any of more than 1,500 in-store kiosks Walgreens offers in its stores across 46 states and Washington, D.C. These kiosks are intended to help ensure medications are not accidentally or intentionally misused. Walgreens provides the kiosks at no cost, year-round, during regular pharmacy hours. Customers can find kiosk locations on Walgreens.com via the store locator tool by using the search filter for “medication disposal kiosk” under the pharmacy section. Walgreens pharmacies that do not have safe medication disposal kiosks offer other drug disposal options free of charge that are also available year-round upon request at the pharmacy counter.
