Prescription drug abuse is an epidemic in this country and the source of these drugs is often the home medicine cabinet. If you have unneeded or expired medications, now is the time to dispose of them.
On Saturday September 25, 2010, the DEA and their partners are operating collection sites across America where you can turn in your unused, unneeded, and expired medications. No questions asked.
Locally, the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with DEA to provide two locations in Shasta County for citizens to turn in any unused or expired medications:
Shasta County Sheriff’s Office
