Hello neighbors!

As Placer County prepares to host another free medication take-back event tomorrow, April 27, we are also encouraging residents to take advantage of permanent drop boxes and new mail-in options that offer a safe, free way to dispose of medication year-round.
Permanent drop boxes: There are 30 free, permanent drop box sites across Placer County, many at local pharmacies.
Mail-in disposal: There are free mail-in options for both medication (https://medtakebackcalifornia.org/) and sharps/lancets (https://sharpstakebackcalifornia.org/). For either, you simply complete the online form or call (844) 4-TAKE-BACK to request a pre-paid, pre-addressed mail-back package.
Saturday's take-back event will take place from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Bring medications in their original containers – containers will be incinerated. Event locations and more info about drop boxes and mail-in options are available here: https://www.placer.ca.gov/9699/New-year-...
