Arkansas Drug Take Back Day

Faulkner County Sheriff's Office invites the community to participate in the 2026 Drug Take Back Day, being held on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The Faulkner County Sheriff's Office keeps a permanent drug take back box in our lobby, located at 801 Locust St. Conway, AR, to help you dispose of your unused prescription medication safely!

By keeping unused or old prescriptions in your medicine cabinet, you could put your loved ones at risk. Before you flush your old drugs down the drain, however, know that those medications will likely end up in your drinking water. Prescription drugs can't be flushed or discarded into the trash. If thrown away whole, those drugs may be taken out of the garbage. Sometimes, people disguise drugs by mixing them into kitty litter or coffee grounds. However, those drugs seep into the earth, again finding their way into our water supply. To safely dispose of drugs, community members can drop old prescriptions into their local Drug Take Back Box.
