The Drug Take-Back Network serves as a central information source for all parties interested in learning about drug take-back and disposal issues. We hope to unite the broad community of individuals and organizations that seek to reduce drug abuse and accidental poisonings, and to improve the quality of our drinking water by offering consumers a safe option for disposing of their unused prescription drugs.
The Product Stewardship Institute and King Pharmaceuticals created the Drug Take-Back Network in an effort to centralize information and resources on drug take-back issues. By promoting shared learning, this new Network hopes to advance strategies already underway to reduce drug abuse and accidental poisonings, and to improve water quality by offering consumers a safe option for disposing of their unused drugs.

The Product Stewardship Institute (PSI) is a national environmental institute located in Boston, Massachusetts. PSI works with state, and local government agencies to partner with waste management firms, manufacturers, retailers, environmental groups, federal agencies, and other key stakeholders to reduce the health and environmental impacts of consumer products. PSI has a membership base consisting of 45 states, 60 local government agencies, and 35 business and organizations, all of which allow PSI to represent more than 95% of the U.S. population. The mission of PSI is to pursue initiatives to ensure that all those involved in the lifecycle of a product share responsibility for reducing its health and environmental impacts. PSI envisions a society in which products are responsibly manufactured, used, and managed after use to conserve resources and protect the environment and human health.
