Unused prescription drugs present a challenge to our society. They can tragically fall into the wrong hands or pollute the environment if thrown away. Fortunately there is a safe and anonymous way to dispose of them this weekend. The Artesia Police Department will be at the Artesia Public Library this Saturday, October 29th, from 10 am to 2 pm to receive any drugs that need to be properly disposed of.

The Artesia Police Department are participating in the United States Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Over 7,995 tons of prescription drugs were collected across the country at the last Take Bake day in April 2022. Take time to clean out your medicine cabinets this week and turn in your prescription drugs safely and anonymously this Saturday in Artesia.
