Drug Take-Back Day tomorrow: Southwest Precinct dropoffs

| Health | Safety | West Seattle news | West Seattle police

No need to have expired and/or unneeded prescription drugs around the house … they can be dangerous for a variety of reasons – theft, abuse, poisoning, even water pollution if someone mistakenly thinks it’s OK to flush them or throw them down the drain … Whatever you have on hand, there’s an easy way to get rid of it tomorrow via Drug Take-Back Day – drop them off at the Southwest Precinct (Delridge/Webster), 10 am-2 pm. Seattle Police precincts around the city are participating, and this update from their SPD Blotter website explains.

Thanks for the info! I’ll go tomorrow with my meds.

Last time they weren’t taking any pills that weren’t in their original containers. Just a warning to other avid recyclers!

Don’t know how that could be enforced … but if anyone has a question, the National Drug Take-Back page lists an 800 number: http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/

I love this! A fantastic method for preventing substance abuse!

This may be a dodo question, but does this include liquid meds as well?

Can’t find anything saying they won’t … provided they’re in a secure glass container (which if I were trying to turn in, I’d in turn put in a Ziploc bag or similar) … I’ll try to get an answer to that one but not sure if I’ll be able to, short of checking in when they start up tomorrow. – TR
