The Simi Valley Police Department Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is Saturday, April 28, 2018 from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., in the front parking lot of the Simi Valley Police Station at 3901 Alamo Street.
This year marks the 7th Annual Prescription Drug Drop-Off event; the success of this program has collected over 1,400 pounds of unwanted and unused prescription medications.
Events such as these are another way the Simi Valley Police Department is working in a collaborative effort with the public to remove unwanted medications before they fall into the hands of people who may abuse them.
For your convenience, our police department has provided a safe and ecological way for residents to dispose of old and unwanted medications. Please call our property room at (805) 583-6964 to make an appointment for any Tuesday or Thursday from 1:00-4:00 p.m. (excluding holidays).
The Simi Valley Police Department allows the community to bring illegal drugs to the police station and turn them in with no questions asked.
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.
• Chemo Drugs will be accepted at this event only.
• 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, Ca 93063, (805) 582-4000.
Simi Valley Police Department would like to remind everyone not to dispose of waste medication down drains or toilets or in the trash.
