THIS WEEKEND: Life-saving dropoffs on Saturday

Saturday is the semi-annual Drug Take-Back Day, and the Southwest Precinct (2300 SW Webster) will accept your no-longer-wanted/needed and/or expired prescription drug dropoffs between 10 am and 2 pm. Calling it “life-saving” is no exaggeration – even if there’s no one living or visiting your home who’s at risk of overdose, if something’s sitting around in your medicine cabinet, it could be taken by burglars and end up on the street. Just drop by and drop off, no questions asked.

    This is very important indeed. Even some house cleaners and care providers have been known to search for drugs while home owners aren’t watching. Seniors are particularity vulnerable. If people can’t get rid of their unused prescriptions on their own, I hope they have someone they can reach out to for help getting their stash to the precinct.

    Seriously,  burglars?   Good grief! 

Sorry, comment time is over.
