On Saturday, April 22, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm the Oceanside Police Department in partnership with Tri-City Medical Center and the Drug Enforcement Administration will host a National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Oceanside officers and partners will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs.
For more than a decade, National Prescription Drug Take Back Day events have helped Americans easily and responsibly rid their homes of unneeded medications—those that are old, unwanted, or expired—that too often become a gateway to addiction.
Take Back Day offers free and anonymous disposal of unneeded medications at more than 4,000 local drop-off locations nationwide.
What: National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
When: Saturday, April 22 from 10 am to 2 pm local time
