Sent on behalf of Dr. Kismet Baldwin, San Joaquin County Public Health Officer:
Attached you will find a flyer regarding the Drug Take Back Day event at three (3) locations in San Joaquin County. On Saturday, October 26, 2019, the San Joaquin County Opioid Safety Coalition, Safe Kids San Joaquin County, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and local law enforcement are providing the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. A new addition to the free disposal event this year is the acceptance of vaping devices with the batteries removed.
Sites cannot accept liquids, needles or sharps; only pills, patches and vaping devices without batteries will be accepted.
Thank you,
