Santa Cruz Police Will Dispose of Your Expired Prescription Drugs

With prescription drug abuse one of the top killers among teens, the Santa Cruz Police Department has a place to get rid of those you don't want anymore.

From their blog:

The Santa Cruz Police Department would like to remind the community about our on-going prescription drug take-back program.  This program, offered by the Santa Cruz Police Department, provides a no-cost, anonymous collection point for unwanted or expired medicines.  We have a secure, self-service collection bin in our public lobby that is available to community members Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.  Simply bring your unwanted or expired medicines to the police department during the hours that our public lobby is open and use the self-service bin which is clearly marked and located in the left-hand corner of the front lobby as you face the front counter.
