Drop off unwanted medications in Las Vegas Valley this weekend
Nevadans can rid their homes this weekend of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.
The 10th National Prescription Drug Take-Back, a partnership between the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Nevada Attorney General's Office, is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at four Las Vegas Valley locations:
- Metro's northwest area command station, 9850 W. Cheyenne Ave.
- Metro's eastern area command, 6975 W. Windmill Parkway
- North Las Vegas Police Department's northwest area command station, 3755 W. Washburn Road
- Anthem Senior Center lobby, 2450 Hampton Road in Henderson.
"Last September, Americans turned in 617,000 pounds of prescription drugs," Nevada Attorney General Adam Paul Laxalt said. "This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health concern, and gives Nevadans the opportunity to reduce the threat of prescription drug abuse."
