Red Bluff and Corning police departments are participating from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in a nation-wide event coordinated by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from our medicine cabinets.
The National Take-Back Initiative Day gives the public an opportunity to dispose of expired, unwanted or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications, which are a potential source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety.
The collection efforts in Red Bluff will be in the parking lot of the Red Bluff Community Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. In Corning, the event will be at the Corning Police Department, 774 Third St.
The free program is anonymous and no identification is required nor will it be asked for.
Prescription and over the counter solid dosage medications such as tablets and capsules are accepted. Liquid products such as cough syrup should remain sealed in the original containers. Intravenous solutions, injectables and needles will not be accepted.
