MATFORCE, a primary prevention organization focused on stopping youth drug use before it starts, has partnered again this year with local law enforcement agencies to host medication takeback events throughout Yavapai County.
Since 2008 over 43,500 pounds of medication have been collected and properly disposed of through Dump the Drugs events and drop box locations throughout Yavapai County.
Takeback events are a convenient way for community members to dispose of expired or unwanted medications. The events will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2024, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the following locations:
Prescott Valley Police Department | 7601 E. Skoog Blvd., Prescott Valley
Cottonwood Police Department | 199 S. 6th Street, Cottonwood
If community members miss the event, 15 prescription drug drop boxes can be found throughout Yavapai County for convenient disposal. Contact your local police department for more details.
