Drug Take Back program (Photo – Health.mil).

Celebrate National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day this Saturday by dropping-off your unwanted, unused or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications at your local police department or at a safe-drop off location near you!

The Pasadena Police Department, Day One, and local public health & safety advocates remind you not to keep unused prescription drugs at home, flush or throw them away in the trash or drain where they are a risk to children, teens, pets, and the environment.
