SGPD Evidence & Property Technician Wendy Flores and DEA personnel will be on hand at 625 South Del Mar Avenue to collect expired or unused prescription drugs. Since this initiative began seven years ago, over 8.1 million pounds of prescription medications have been collected nationwide. The service is free and anonymous - no questions asked.
