Arkansas Prescription Drug Take Back Day Event

Sheriff Ryals and all of us at Faulkner County Sheriff's Office wish to express our appreciation to the many community members who joined us today for the 2026 Arkansas Drug Take Back Day to dispose of unused prescription medication safely! If you were not able to join us today, Faulkner County Sheriff's Office maintains a permanent Drug Take Back Box inside our lobby, located at 801 Locust St. Conway, Arkansas, so citizens can safely dispose of unused medication at any time. 

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. 

Thank you, again, for helping to keep Faulkner County safe!
