PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – March 25, 2026 – Calvert County will participate in National Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Northeast Community Center, 4075 Gordon Stinnett Ave. in Chesapeake Beach, and the Southern Community Center, 20 Appeal Lane in Lusby.

The Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse (CAASA), Calvert County Health Department, Calvert County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) and Maryland State Police, Barrack U, are partnering to sponsor the countywide collection events.

National Drug Take Back Day is a national campaign promoted by the Drug Enforcement Administration to reduce the risk of misuse by encouraging residents to clear out unused and expired medications.

Residents are encouraged to safely dispose of unused or expired medications by dropping them off at either location. Medications should be in their original packaging to allow for easy disposal. Law enforcement officers and volunteers from CAASA will be on hand to assist with collection and provide resource information.

For those unable to participate on April 25, three 24/7 medication drop boxes are available year-round at the following locations:

· Calvert County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), 30 Church St., Prince Frederick
