Venice Police Department hosts
Drive-thru Prescription Drug Takeback
event from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Saturday, April 24
For citizens to responsibly dispose of
unwanted or expired prescription
medications from the safety of their vehicles.
Officers will be on hand to assist.
VPD has partnered with Drug Free Sarasota, Florida Department of Health-Sarasota County, Poison Information Center and First Step of Sarasota, along with the Florida National Guard, to organize this event as a drive-thru for residents’ convenience and safety. The event will be located at the Public Safety Facility at 1575 E. Venice Ave. Only tablets and capsules will be accepted.
This ongoing program allows the public to return unused prescription medications into a controlled collection system. In doing so, the medications are destroyed without being deposited into our landfills or water system, substantially reducing any potential environmental damage and the chance of the meds becoming a health hazard. Safe disposal of these medications also decreases access to addictive drugs for accidental or intentional misuse.
For more information, please call the
Police Department at 941-486-2444.
