National Take Back Day

National Take Back Day

Join us for National Take Back Day, a community event dedicated to keeping our neighborhoods and environment safe. Proper disposal of medications is essential, when unwanted or expired prescriptions are thrown away incorrectly, they can cause environmental contamination and pose risks to others. National Take Back Day provides a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unused, unwanted, or expired prescription medications. Simply drive by or stop in and drop them off, no questions asked.

Mail-back sharps containers, courtesy of the San Bernardino County Fire Department Household Hazardous Waste, as well as additional community resources will be available on-site.
