The Avalon Police Department is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Initiative to conduct a “Take Back” prescription drug turn in program on Saturday, April 28th, from 10:00am until 2:00pm. The program will be conducted free of charge at the Avalon Police Department, located at the Public Safety Building at 3100 Dune Drive in Avalon. Last October, Americans turned in 377,080 pounds—188.5 tons—of prescription drugs at over 5,300 sites operated by the DEA and nearly 4,000 state and local law enforcement partners. In its three previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in almost a million pounds—nearly 500 tons—of pills.
