Event will kickoff with remarks by Supervisor Kristin Gaspar, Sheriff Bill Gore and Scott Silverman, as well as representatives from the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS®, office of the San Diego County District Attorney and AMR.
We need an army of volunteers to join realtors as they canvass neighborhoods and help spread the word about how to safeguard or safely dispose of the prescriptions in your home. Volunteers will be given DEA-compliant bags in which you can dispose of your expired or unused prescriptions. The process is completely anonymous, the bags will be postage-paid and pre-addressed to a location in Texas where the drugs will be safely incinerated.
“We are asking each of you, your club or organization, to be a part of this program.”
Kristin Gaspar, San Diego County Supervisor
