Florence Police to assist with ‘Drug Take Back Day’ Florence Police Department (FPD), Lane County Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will be hosting a National Drug Take Back Event on Saturday, Oct. 28, aimed at providing a resource for Lane County residents to safely, securely and anony- mously turn in their unwanted, outdated or expired household medicines. The FPD has participated in this program for several years and has been successful in removing hundreds of pounds of medications for safe dispos- al. Residents can bring their unwanted, outdated or expired prescription and over-the- counter medications to Florence Bi-Mart, 4310 Highway 101, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Acceptable items include: prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, drug samples, pet medications, ointments, lotions and liquid medicines in glass or leak proof containers. This event is unable to accept needles, thermometers, bloody or infectious waste, medicines from businesses, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans, inhalers and diabetic meters. Thousands of pounds of medications have been turned in at sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement part- ners. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throw- ing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards. For those who are unable to attend the Drug Take Back Event, the Florence Police Department has a Drug Drop Box located in the lobby at the Florence Justice Center, 900 Greenwood St., available to accept medications Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding legal holi- days.
