Unwanted Prescription Drug Collection Saturday
Flushing drugs down the toilet or throwing them in the trash pose potential safety and health hazards.
If you have prescription drugs that are expired or no longer needed, turn them in for free Saturday at the Central Marin Police Authority building on Doherty Drive.
The drug collection is sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). No questions will be asked.
