On Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the St. Louis County Police Department partner with the Drug Enforcement Administration in a prescription drug take-back initiative.
The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Just deposit the unwanted drugs and leave.
Prescription drugs will be collected drugs at four sites:
* North County Recreation Complex, 2577 Redman Road, 63136
* Mehlville Substation, 3229 Lemay Ferry Road
* City of Fenton Precinct, 625 New Smizer Mill Road
* City of Wildwood Municipal Building and precinct station, 16860 Main Street, Wildwood Town Center.
Visit www.dea.gov for other collection sites.
This initiative seeks to prevent unused prescription medication from becoming available for abuse and to keep unused prescription medication out of the nation’s water supply. The DEA will dispose of the collected drugs.Â
