The Culver City Police Department is hosting a prescription drug take-back day on October 26th

Safely dispose of unused medications at the drive-thru event

Culver City Police are urging residents to safely dispose of unused and expired prescription medications during the upcoming drug take-back day. The event will take place on Saturday, October 26, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the police station at 4040 Duquesne Avenue.

The initiative allows residents to bring old, expired or unneeded medications for proper disposal – no questions asked. Participants can walk, bike or drive to the event, where a convenient drive-through lane will be set up in front of the train station. Anyone arriving by car can simply drive up and the officers will pick up the medication without the person having to leave their vehicle.

Organizers emphasize that proper disposal of medications helps protect the community and the environment. However, no needles or sharp objects will be accepted at the event.
