Got Old Prescription Drugs You Don't Want? Solano Cities Will Take Them On April 29

SOLANO COUNTY, CA -- If you've got unwanted and/or unneeded prescription medicines taking up space in your medicine cabinet and would like to get rid of them in a safe, responsible manner, a chance to do so is coming up soon.

Various state and other law enforcement agencies throughout Solano County, including the Benicia, Dixon and Suisun City police departments, will accept old drugs that have expired and are now unsafe to keep any longer.

The program's anonymous. If you want to safely dispose of the old drugs, keep them sealed in the original pharmaceutical container and stop by the lobby of your local law enforcement agency, which will then ensure the drugs are turned over to the DEA.

The drug take-back is scheduled for 9 am to 3 pm Saturday, April 29 across Solano County. In addition to the above-mentioned police departments, participating agencies include the departments in Rio Vista, Vacaville and Vallejo, as well as the Solano County Sheriff's station in Fairfield.
