Speaking of that, does anyone know the deal behind the ‘drug take-back days’ that US police sometimes do? I mean, who actually drops off drugs at a police station?

Its for prescription drugs.

You're not supposed to flush them or throw them away without taking precautions to make sure they don't end up in nature. Pill bottles aren't water tight and all.

Rather than see people flush them or whatever, pharmacies will often take them and they have these days as an awareness thing.

Pretty sure the police do it just because they get drugs from arrests and already have what they need to do it properly.
