The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station is set to host a Drug Take Back Day to discard prescription medications next month.

From 8 a.m. to 12 p.m on Friday, April 2, residents can drop off unwanted medications at the Sheriff’s Station for disposal, according to Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the station.

“This free service allows the public to anonymously discard prescription medications, and also addresses a vital public safety and health issue,” wrote Arriaga in an official statement Tuesday.

Over-the-counter medications can be accepted, but liquids are not. 

The Drug Take Back Day works to address vital public safety and health issues regarding drug disposal and abuse, according to Arriaga.

Local organizations DFY SCV and ACTION Family Counseling are also expected to be present and offering on site resources at the stations, officials said.

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station is located at 23740 Magic Mountain Parkway in Valencia.
