YPD and DEA team up to host National Take Back Day

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Police Department (YPD) is teaming up with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for National Take Back Day.

According to YPD, the event is a way to give the community a safe alternative to get rid of unwanted or expired prescription medication.

Yuma residents can drop them off this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the YPD headquarters on South First Avenue.

No ID is needed and the service is free and anonymous.

YPD says it is a way to help prevent drug misuse and keep old medications from ending up in the wrong hands.

However, they won't be accepting liquids, needs or illegal drugs.
