Med Take Back Event
By properly disposing of unused and expired medications we protect our kids, neighbors, and environment.
The City of Mercer Island Police Department in partnership with the MIYFS Healthy Youth Initiative is coordinating with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to offer a free, anonymous in-person National Take Back Day.
This event will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2021 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the loading dock on the west side of the Mercer Island City Hall (9611 SE 36th Street).
To protect the safety of staff and volunteers, please follow COVID-19 protocols by wearing a mask and practice social distancing.
