The Yuma County Sheriff's Office will be participating in the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) National Prescription Take-Back Day on Saturday, April 30, 2022 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Medications for disposal can be dropped off at the YCSO Foothills Substation at 13190 E. South Frontage Road. This service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
This event provides the opportunity to prevent pill abuse, theft, and accidental poisoning by ridding households of expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Agency will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other solid forms of prescription drugs. We will also accept vaping devices and cartridges provided lithium batteries are removed.
***Liquids, syringes and other sharps, and illegal drugs will not be accepted.
