Las Palmas Del Sol Healthcare is partnering with the El Paso County

Constable’s Office, Precinct 4, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement

Administration to provide a medication disposal site in honor of National

Prescription Drug Take Back Day.

Participants can safely dispose of controlled and uncontrolled substances,

over-the-counter medications, ointments, patches, creams, non-aerosol

sprays, vials and pet medications. Used needles and other sharps will not

be accepted. All accepted medications will be properly destroyed.

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day provides an opportunity for

communities to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths by ensuring

that prescription drugs are not misused and do not end up in the wrong

hands.
