Santa Monica Public Safety Facility Installs Prescription Drug Drop-Box
The Santa Monica Police Department has installed a permanent, prescription drugs, disposal drop-box in front of the Public Safety Facility located at 333 Olympic Drive in Santa Monica.
The collection receptacle provides a convenient and reliable means to discard unwanted and expired medications.
SMPD Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said the self-service drop box would be accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Child poisoning or accidental ingestion are examples of potential and serious safety and health hazards in our community," Seabrooks said.
Medications thrown in the trash or poured down the drain can end up in landfills or oceans, and have the potential to leach into the soil and contaminate groundwater and aquatic animals.
This program will ensure that potentially dangerous medicines are safely disposed of and that our kids and the environment are protected.
For more information, contact the Santa Monica Police Department's Community Affairs Division at 310.458.8474.
