WEST SEATTLE WEEKEND SCENE: Drug Take-Back Day dropoffs

We stopped by the Southwest Precinct after the first hour of today’s Drug Take-Back Day dropoffs – one box was filled and a second well on the way. Left to right above are Betsy Cruz from the DEA, SPD Officer Taylor Vergara, and Crime Prevention Coordinator Jennifer Danner. All you have to do is walk into the meeting room right off the precinct’s public parking lot (2300 SW Webster, just west of Delridge) and drop your unwanted, no-longer-needed, and/or expired medication. They have some swag too, while supplies last. As featured in our calendar and preview list, this continues until 2 pm.

P.S. If you missed it, as commenter “Auntie” notes, there are multiple West Seattle year-round dropoff spots too – you can look them up by zip code here.

    There are also drop-off boxes at the RiteAid at Westwood Village and the Walgreen’s at 35th & Morgan, where you can drop stuff any time that the pharmacy is open.

    Anyone with older parents should take advantage of this opportunity.  Please go through medicine cabinets with your older friends and toss out all expired medications.  Ask them for a current medication list.  Put all meds not listed in a separate bag to ask their PCP if they should be taking.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
