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outdated or expired household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unwanted, outdated or expired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.
Buying or Selling? I can help.
