In a continued effort to prevent prescription medications from falling into the wrong hands, the Folsom Police Department will take part in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day event Saturday, April 30. Bring your unused, unwanted, or expired prescription medications to the Folsom Police Department at 46 Natoma Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the community about the potential for abuse of medications. This one-day event provides an opportunity for residents to dispose of prescription drugs free of charge and anonymously, with no questions asked.

Please remove all pills, tablets, and capsules from their packaging and consolidate them into one bag before disposal. Vape pens and e-cigarettes will be accepted. Needles, auto-injectors, or other sharps will not be accepted. For a list of accepted items and additional disposal locations in Folsom, visit www.folsom.ca.us/MedicationDisposal.
