Prescription Drug Take Back Day
Prescription Drug Take Back Day is taking place on Saturday, April 28, 2012. This is an opportunity to drop off unused prescription drugs to dispose of them safely.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and government, community, public health and law enforcement partners came together to announce this nationwide initiative, which seeks to prevent increased pill abuse and theft. The DEA will be collecting potentially dangerous expires, unused and unwanted prescription drugs for destruction at sites nationwide, including San Diego. The service is free and anonymous — no questions asked.
Prescription and over-the-counter solid dosage medications (such as tablets and capsules) will be accepted.
Sharp HealthCare will be hosting a drop-off site at the Sharp Corporate Offices in Kearny Mesa. Needles will not be accepted.
