On Saturday, Oct. 28, the St. Louis Park Police Department held a Drug Takeback Day to collect unwanted prescription drugs. The event provided a safe way for anyone with unused or expired drugs to dispose of them. The police department collected 33 boxes, roughly 300 lbs., during the event.

Thank you to the St. Louis Park Police Department and everyone who participated for making this a successful event.

For those that were not able to make the event, St. Louis Park’s Fire and Police Departments offer free medication disposal bags to residents. Learn more about the medicine disposal bags or visit Hennepin County's website for medicine drop box locations and hours.
