LASD
- DON’T LET YOUR MEDICATIONS GO DOWN THE DRAIN, National Prescription Drug
Take-Back Day 2014
The
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will participate in the ninth and final
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day
on Saturday, September 27, 2014, between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The
Sheriff’s Department encourages members of the community to take their expired,
unneeded, or unwanted prescription drugs to any Safe Drug Drop-Off box located
outside Los Angeles County Sheriff’s patrol stations. This is an opportunity
for residents to dispose of their medications safely without harming the
environment or falling into the wrong hands. Only pills can be brought to
the collection sites this Saturday.
In
September of 2009 the new “Safe Drug Drop-Off” Program was first introduced at
Lomita Sheriff’s Station. This program was developed to provide a unique
opportunity for residents to safely and anonymously drop-off expired or unused
prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, syringes (sharps), and any other
controlled substances. Five years later the program continues to be
successful and has expanded. Now there are 21 Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Stations participating in the “Safe Drug Drop-Off” Program.
The
drug disposal drop boxes are available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365
days a year in front of the following stations:
