‘GET RID OF IT’ WEEKEND: Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, Recycle Roundup Sunday

Two quick reminders about opportunities this weekend to get rid of what you don’t need:

DRUG TAKE-BACK DAY: 10 am-2 pm Saturday, take unneeded/unwanted/expired medication to the Southwest Precinct (2300 SW Webster) and drop it off. No questions asked. We asked SPD if there were any restrictions on what type they’re accepting – the reply is, no.

RECYCLE ROUNDUP: This also is a twice-yearly event. 9 am-3 pm Sunday at Fauntleroy Church (9140 California SW), bring your recyclables – as long as they’re on this list – and drop them off, free. Organizers request that you come as early in that window as you can to avoid an end-of-day backup.

    Any idea if they will take expired unused epi pens?

      They’re literally supposed to accept all kinds of medication. I asked the precinct specifically if there were any restrictions, as nothing was mentioned, and their directive from HQ is “We accept all drugs.”

      They told us nothing with needles.

Sorry, comment time is over.
