On Saturday, October 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the South Pasadena Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration will host DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day at locations across the country. DEA and its partners will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs.

For sixteen years, DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day has helped Americans safely dispose of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—to prevent drug misuse and abuse.

The event will take place in our front courtyard, located at 1422 Mission Street. We hope to see you there!
