Now is the
time to dispose of old or unwanted prescription drugs cluttering your medicine cabinet.
In
collaboration with National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, the San Diego County
Sheriff’s Department will be accepting prescription medications for safe
disposal at various locations on Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m.
The drop-off site in Santee will be the
Walgreen’s parking lot at 10512 Mission Gorge Road.
This service
is free and anonymous, with no questions asked. Unwanted or expired prescription
drugs can be disposed of, but sharps or needles cannot be accepted.
Disposing of
old prescriptions this way prevents them from falling into the wrong hands or
damaging the environment through improper disposal.

event, unwanted prescriptions can be dropped off at any sheriff’s station Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
