The Maricopa County Attorney's office is partnering up with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to provide people with a safe alternative to disposing of unwanted, unused prescription drugs.
This event is one of many that will be held across the country. The purpose is to prevent potentially dangerous drugs from ending up in the hands of teens, who studies indicate that 1 in 5 have abused prescription drugs. The most common source teens use to obtain these drugs is the family medicine cabinet.
The location for the event is the Target parking lot at the corner of Cactus andf Paradise Village Parkway West in Phoenix, and will take place from 10am until 2pm on Saturday, October 29, 2011. There will be free hot dogs, chips, and drinks offered for anyone who participates.
