On Saturday, October 24, 2020, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) will be hosting its National Take Back Initiative. In collaborative efforts with the DEA, the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office will once again be the venue for the one-day opportunity for persons to dispose of unwanted or unused prescription drugs. This event will take place on Saturday, October 24, 2020 from 10am until 2pm in front of the Sheriff's Office. A deputy will be on hand to take the substances to be disposed of with no questions asked. All solid pharmaceutical products in consumer containers will be accepted. We CANNOT accept liquids, syringes/needles. Only pills and patches are accepted. Citizens can contact their doctor or pharmacist as to where syringes/needles can be disposed of, or where DIY sharps containers can be disposed of.

Please contact Sheriff Arnold Zwicke for more information or comments.
