National Prescription Drug Take Back Day 2012

ken — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:13:07 +0000

From the San Diego County Sherrif's Department, "It’s time to clean out your medicine cabinet and get rid of old and unwanted prescription drugs. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department will collect and safely dispose unwanted or expired medicines as part of the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) fourth National Prescription Drug Take Back Day." This gets drugs out of the community, away from children and teens, and keeps the chemicals out of the landfills and oceans. You can find drop-off locations and additional information by looking at the Drug Take Back Day Web Page, however, we are fortunate enough to have a permanent drop-off location at the Carmel Valley Police Substation! Carmel Valley's Prescripton Drug Drop-off Location is at 12592 El Camino Real, right across from the CV Rec Center. The drop-off point is a "mailbox" behind the fence adjacent to the station entrance. Just reach through the bars and place old prescription drugs into the box.
