We are having another DEA sponsored Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, September 29th, from 10am-2pm.

Our West Seattle community members can simply bring their expired and or unused medication to the Southwest Precinct for safe disposal. Any type of prescription and or over the counter medications are acceptable collections. If liquid, please ensure that the lids are tight. Please note that intra-venous solutions, injectibles, syringes, or medical waste are not collectable items.
