National Pharmaceutical Drug Take Back Day Saturday

On Saturday, you can clean out your medicine chest and take your unwanted, left over, and expired pharmaceuticals for proper disposal.

They do need to be in the original, labeled container.

Drop off your pharmaceuticals at the Shoreline Police Department, 1206 North 185th Street.  

Bartell Drugs has permanent take-back programs. Their nearest stores are at 185th and Aurora, Westgate in Edmonds, 125th and Lake City Way, and Mountlake Terrace on 44th.

Bartells takes vitamins, supplements, pet medications, and prescription drugs, all in their original containers but only the police departments can take controlled substances.
