EUGENE, Ore. — Lane Community College will once again participate in the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on April 30, but this time the college also will accept donations of canned and dried foods for local food banks.
Lane Public Safety will staff collection boxes in two locations, one on main campus in front of Building 19, 4000 E 30th in Eugene, and the other in front of Lane’s Downtown Campus at 101 W 10th in Eugene; on Saturday, April 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
People can drive by and drop off old, unused and unwanted prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications, no questions asked. The service is free and anonymous. It’s recommended to remove or ink out personal information on prescription labels. LCC turns sealed bins over to the DEA which safely incinerates the drugs. This is a responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs to keep them out of the environment and out of the wrong hands. Prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs for people—and pets—will be accepted. Liquids, needles or sharps cannot be accepted.
For more information, contact LCC Public Safety at (541) 463-5558.
