The Folsom Police Department, located at 46 Natoma Street, will host National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Residents can drop off unused, unwanted, or expired medications for proper disposal to help prevent misuse, according to the City of Folsom.
The City of Folsom has announced a program where participants can dispose of old prescription medications, vape pens, and e-cigarettes. Pills should be placed in a clear, zipper-sealed bag. Liquids, gels, and creams must be in their original containers with seals intact. All labels with identifying information should be removed. For vape pens and e-cigarettes, battery cartridges should be removed before disposal.
The Folsom Police Department's Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is part of a national initiative to safely dispose of prescription medications. Certain items, such as intravenous solutions, injectables, syringes, marijuana, methamphetamine, vape pens or e-cigarettes with non-removable batteries, and inhalers, will not be accepted. These restrictions help ensure safety and proper disposal. The event helps protect the environment and reduce the risk of medication misuse, as reported by the City of Folsom.
