圣克拉丽塔市警局分站10月24日办处方药回收日 居民可匿名交回过期药
洛杉矶县警局圣克拉丽塔谷分站10月14日通过Nixle发布通告：该站将于10月24日（周六）举办全国处方药回收日活动，居民可将家中未用完或已经过期的处方药交回，统一安全处置。
活动时间为上午10点至下午2点，地点在圣克拉丽塔谷分站（26201 Golden Valley Rd, Santa Clarita, CA 91350）。该活动是美国缉毒局（DEA）全国处方药回收日的组成部分，全美各地执法机构同日设点回收。交回药品全程匿名、不问来源；按回收日统一规则，现场收药片与贴剂，液体药品、针头和锐器不在回收之列。
洛县警局表示，过期或闲置的处方药留在家中，容易被儿童误服或被他人滥用，随意冲入下水道则会污染水源；回收日为居民提供免费、安全的处置渠道。圣克拉丽塔谷分站的服务范围包括圣克拉丽塔市及周边峡谷社区。
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station to Host Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Oct. 24
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Santa Clarita Valley Station announced via Nixle on October 14 that it will host a National Prescription Drug Take Back Day event on Saturday, October 24, where residents can turn in unused or expired prescription medication for safe disposal.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Santa Clarita Valley Station, 26201 Golden Valley Road, Santa Clarita, CA 91350. It is part of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, with law enforcement agencies across the country hosting collection sites the same day. Drop-offs are anonymous, with no questions asked; under the program's uniform rules, sites accept pills and patches, while liquids, needles and sharps are not accepted.
The Sheriff's Department notes that expired or unused prescription drugs left at home can be accidentally ingested by children or misused by others, and that flushing them can contaminate water supplies. The take-back event offers residents a free, safe disposal option. The Santa Clarita Valley Station serves the City of Santa Clarita and surrounding canyon communities.
