Walberg Invites Constituents to Participate in National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

Image October 20, 2026 Press Release This Saturday, October 24, is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-05) encourages his constituents to participate by visiting one of the many drug disposal locations available throughout Michigan’s 5th Congressional District and beyond between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. "Addiction continues to fuel a nationwide crisis, devastating families and overwhelming communities," said Rep. Walberg. “Leftover or expired prescriptions often accumulate in homes, where they can be misused, stolen, or illegally sold. Proper disposal of unused prescription drugs helps prevent misuse and helps keep our streets safer. Ahead of this Prescription Drug Take Back Day, I encourage all residents to check their medicine cabinets and safely discard any unused prescriptions to help protect our loved ones and keep our communities safe.” Residents who have expired or leftover medications can visit the Drug Enforcement Administration’s website here to find more information about available disposal sites.

Walberg’s efforts to combat the opioid crisis across our nation: As a member of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, Congressman Walberg has been committed to working with his colleagues to address the alarming opioid epidemic that is affecting communities in Michigan and sweeping the nation. In 2018, Democrats and Republicans worked together to pass a landmark bill, the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, signed into law by President Trump. Walberg proudly authored multiple bipartisan provisions in this historic bill to crack down on the epidemic. After the bill’s implementation, opioid overdoses not only slowed but began to decrease. To build on this success, in 2025, the House passed, and President Trump signed into law, the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act. This legislation reauthorizes the successful programs passed in the original bill and will continue to help those struggling with addiction. The Congressman was also a proud cosponsor of the HALT Fentanyl Act , which was signed into law by President Trump last year and permanently placed fentanyl-related substances in Schedule I under the Controlled Substances Act. This critical legislation provided law enforcement with the tools necessary to keep these dangerous substances off our streets.
