Police to Collect Unwanted Prescription Drugs Saturday
Flushing drugs down the toilet or throwing them in the trash pose potential safety and health hazards.
If you have prescription drugs that are expired or no longer needed, turn them in for free Saturday at the Milpitas Police Department headquarters, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
The drug collection is sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). No questions will be asked.
