The Simi Valley Police Department’s 7th Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is this Saturday, October 27, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., in the front parking lot of the Police Station at 3901 Alamo Street.
In partnering with the community, we have removed approximately over 8,600 pounds of unwanted medications from residences before they fall into the hands of people who might abuse them.
The Simi Valley Police Department also allows the community to bring in illegal drugs to the Police Station and turn them in for disposal with no questions asked.
CHEMO DRUGS WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THIS EVENT ONLY
How to dispose of unwanted medications:
• Empty the contents of pill bottles into a Ziploc bag (please recycle your pill bottles at home and remember to scratch out all personal identification information).
• Leave liquids, gels, or creams in their original containers and place them in a Ziploc bag.
• Do not dispose of waste medication down drains or toilets or in the trash.
• Sharps such as needles, syringes and any other items used for diabetic tests will not be accepted. Sharps disposal containers are available for free from Sierra Vista Family Medical Clinic at 1227 E. Los Angeles Avenue, Simi Valley, 805-582-4000.
In an ongoing effort to continue to provide a safe and ecological way for residents to dispose of old and unwanted medications please call the Property Room at (805) 583-6964 to arrange an appointment or use the Property Window telephone located in the lobby for your convenience.
