Full Notification

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station J-Team will be hosting a Drug 'Take Back' Event on Tuesday, August 4, 2020, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Residents can drop off unwanted and expired prescription medications at a temporary collection site that will be set up in front of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station located at 23740 Magic Mountain Parkway.

The purpose of this free service is to provide a venue for people to safely dispose of unused prescription medications so drugs are not thrown in the trash or flushed down the toilet, where they could eventually end up in our water. 

“Prescription medications have the potential to be abused by family members or friends," said Sgt. Ericka Gooseberry of the Juvenile Intervention Team. "By clearing medicine cabinets of unwanted medications, it's an opportunity for everyone to help prevent drug addiction and overdoses." 

In accordance with COVID-19 precautions, we ask that you wear a face covering, and do not attend if you have any COVID-19 symptoms or if you have been asked to quarantine.

*Please note no sharps or needles will be accepted at this drop-off event, however a permanent receptacle is located in front of Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station for residents to dispose of these items safely.

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station J-Team may be reached by email at: [email protected].
