Fairfax Take Back Day is Saturday April 30

All Fairfax Residents!

Do a little spring cleaning, and come to Fairfax Take Back Day at the Fairfax Pavilion Parking lot between 10am and 4pm for a one stop shop for recycling and safe disposal of these items:

• Electronics Waste
Conservation Corps North Bay will collect electronics for recycling including computers, microwaves, iPods, printers, cell phones, TVs, remotes, etc.

• Free Paper Shredding
Marin Sanitary Service will shred up to two bankers boxes of your sensitive documents. Please no plastic, folders, or binders. Staples/paperclips OK! Please no binder clips.

• Unused Prescription Drugs and Medications (Until 2pm)
Household medications are the number one cause of childhood poisonings. They also pollute our waterways (please do not flush them down the toilet!). The Fairfax Police will be collecting the drugs until 2pm. Please no liquids, needles or sharps, only pills or patches. This is part of the Drug Enforcement Agency National Drug Take Back program, an initiative that addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

**Visit the Sustainable Fairfax Reuse Station and make fun reusable bags out of your favorite T-shirts!**

GETTING THERE: Walk, Bike or Drive through the drop off spots in the Fairfax Pavilion Parking lot. Please enter from Elsie Lane.

Sustainable Fairfax, Marin Sanitary Service and the Town of Fairfax bring this opportunity to Fairfax residents once a year.
