The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

Law enforcement agencies from across Michigan and throughout the nation will help residents dispose of unwanted medications responsibly during National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 30. The Drug Enforcement Administration's National Take Back Day provides an opportunity for safe, responsible disposal of unneeded prescription medications. The DEA Take Back event offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at more than 4,000 local drop-off locations nationwide, including for the first time, drop boxes at Veterans Administration medical centers.
In October last year, the Drug Enforcement Administration, along with its law enforcement partners, removed close to 745,000 pounds of unneeded prescriptions from medicine cabinets across the country, as part of its ongoing commitment to turn the tide against the U.S. opioid epidemic. Since its inception, the program has removed more than 15.2 million pounds of medication from circulation.
Participation in take back programs, as well as continuous disposal of unused medications, helps prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths. In addition, ensuring that collected medications are properly destroyed can keep them from entering our lakes, rivers, and streams.
It is also possible to take action throughout the year by identifying collection options across the state using Michigan's Drug Take Back Map. Simply enter a ZIP code to find collection locations.
For more information regarding drug treatment and prevention, go to Michigan.gov/Opioids.
