Drug Take Back Day Is Saturday
The Royal Oak Police Department will take unwanted prescription drugs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
ROYAL OAK, MI — National Drug Take-Back Day is Saturday across the country. The Royal Oak Police Department is participating in the event and will take unused prescription drugs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 221 E. Third Street. A similar event in April netted 68 pounds of unused drugs to the department, according to a Royal Oak Daily Tribune report.
“Medications dropped off at the Royal Oak Police Department should be in a zip-lock bag. However, no sharps, medication patches or liquids are allowed.”
“Deputy Police Chief Mike Frazier said the department is one of the few in the area that has a container to drop off unused prescription drugs every day of the year around the clock.”
