Do you have prescription drugs you no longer need? Get rid of them during the Drug Enforcement Administration’s spring Prescription Drug Take Back Day April 27.

The Take Back Day will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 27. San Diegans can dispose of their medications anonymously, and there’s no charge. There will be more than 40 locations around the county for the event to drop off unused and unneeded medications. No sharps or needles accepted. Call (800) 882-9539 or go to www.DEATAKEBACK.com for a location near you.

If you can’t participate in Prescription Drug Take Back Day, you can always drop off unwanted prescriptions at any Sheriff’s station or substation during normal business hours.
