The Ormond Beach Police Department will be participating in the Drug Enforcement Administration's National Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative on Saturday, Oct. 28.
Th take back will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the lobby of the Ormond Beach Police Department, at 170 W Granada Blvd.
This initiative allows the public to voluntarily surrender expired, unwanted or unused pharmaceutically controlled substances and other medications to law enforcement officers for proper destruction, according to a press release.
“We are working with our partners at the Drug Enforcement Administration on this important program," Ormond Beach Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said. "Collectively, we have kept hundreds of pounds of unwanted prescription drugs from harming our ecosystem through improper disposal methods and hopefully we have kept some prescription drugs from getting into the wrong hands."
