DEA DRUG TAKE BACK DAY at the Oakley Police Department on Saturday October 26, 2019 from 10AM-2PM
The Oakley Police Department in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice-Drug Enforcement Administration will be hosting an unused prescription drug drop off on Saturday, October 26th between the hours of 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
The National Prescription Drug Take- Back Initiative aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. Unused medicines left in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.
Please remember to collect and take all expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs for disposal to the Police Department at 3231 Main Street. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
