YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The Yuma Police Department (YPD) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are hosting the National Take Back Initiative this weekend.
The event is taking place at YPD headquarters, located at 1500 S. 1st Avenue, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Saturday.
YPD says the event offers the public to dispose of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs to help prevent pill abuse and theft.
However, YPD says they will not accept syringes, sharps, liquid products or illegal drugs “due to the hazardous conditions they pose during the disposal process.”
The event is free and anonymous. To learn more about the event, read the press release below.
