30th National DEA Takeback Day April 2026
CAMDEN, NJ - Drug Enforcement Administration agents in partnership with the New Jersey National Guard Counterdrug Task Force collect and dispose of prescription medications during Operation Take Back New Jersey, April 28, 2026. Operation Take Back NJ is a biannual event that allows residents to safely dispose of unused or expired medications consequence-free. Residents are encouraged to dispose of unused, unwanted and expired medication safely.
Since 1973 when the DEA declared war on the epidemic of drug overdoses nationwide, Take Back Days have helped communities in need to address public health, environmental, and nationwide security concerns by safely disposing of unused and expired medications. With 240 collection sites across the state and 199 participating Law Enforcement Agencies, a total of 12,640 lbs of unwanted prescription medications were collected and disposed of at the Covanta Energy Recovery Center in Camden, NJ.
The National Guard Counterdrug Program conducts a full-spectrum campaign that bridges the gap between and among Department of War and Non-Department of War institutions in the fight against illicit drugs and transnational threats to the Homeland. The program supports military, law enforcement, and community-based counterdrug operations at all levels of government to anticipate, deter, and defeat these threats to enhance national security and protect our society.

The Center for Prevention & Counseling - Red Ribbon Week Plant The Promise
The Center for Prevention & Counseling (CPC) in Sussex County partnered with participating schools and the New Jersey National Guard Drug Demand Reduction Outreach section of the CounterDrug Task Force for the “Plant the Promise” activity at Wallkill Valley Regional High School, October 28, 2025.
This year, CPC had a total of 18 schools apply with only 7 schools being able to receive the Plant the Promise prize. Students get the opportunity plant flower bulbs during Red Ribbon Week which bloom in the Spring, and serve as a reminder of the importance and the beauty of living a drug-free life. Additionally, it provides a chance to enjoy the outdoors, connect with nature, take a break from daily stress, and see the rewards of something beautiful students have nurtured.
