From the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office:
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is proud to partner with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for the biannual National Drug Take Back Day event, which offers a safe and responsible way for community members to dispose of unused or expired prescription medications.
On Saturday, April 26, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, MCSO personnel will be on-site at the Fountain Hills Town Hall to collect unwanted prescription pills and medications.
