Prescription Drug Take Back Day Sept. 29

On Saturday, Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Enumclaw police and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to the Enumclaw police station at 1705 Wells Street.  The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

While the Sept. 29 date is a specific event, note that the Buckley Police station at 132 S Cedar St. in Buckley has a permanent installation for proper drug disposal, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There's no need to wait until the end of the month if you need to dispose of your household prescription drugs sooner than that.
