Drug Take Back event planned at Sheriff’s Safety Town
Shreveport, Louisiana
It’s time to check your medicine cabinet. If you have some unneeded medications in there, you can get rid of them safely this weekend during Drug Take Back Day at Sheriff’s Safety Town in Shreveport.
The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, in cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Administration, will be collecting old, unwanted, and expired medications from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. It’s part of the National Drug Take Back Day, hosted twice each year by the DEA. Sheriff’s Safety Town is at 8910 Jewella Avenue at the west end of the Summer Grove parking lot.
Deputies will be on hand to collect and properly dispose of prescription and over-the-counter medications, such as tablets, capsules, and sealed liquids. All identifying information such as name, address, and prescription number should be removed. Intra-venous solutions, injectables, and needles will not be accepted.
If you are unable to attend the event at Safety Town this Saturday, you can still utilize our drug dropbox. It’s located on the first floor at Government Plaza, 505 Travis Street. The dropbox is available every weekday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
